Post-incident inspection on an expedited timeline — for White property owners and managers needing the AHJ to clear re-occupancy.
When an incident affects the fire escape on a White property — vehicle impact, fire damage, a heavy load event, sudden visible deformation — the structure cannot be relied upon as egress until it is inspected and the load-bearing capacity verified. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections responds to Warren County, New Jersey emergency requests promptly.
Warren County sits on the Delaware — Phillipsburg's brick downtown carries most of the county's fire escapes, many original to the buildings.
Phillipsburg enforcement typically activates on property transfer; pre-purchase inspections are the common entry point.
