The inspection process for a Linwood fire escape begins with a visual examination of every structural component: stringers, treads, landings, handrails, balusters, attachment brackets, drop-down ladder mechanism, and the masonry or structural connections. Where the AHJ requires it — and Atlantic County, New Jersey jurisdictions vary on this — a load test is performed at 1,000 pounds per landing or five times the design live load, whichever is greater, in accordance with IFC §1104.16.5. The full scope is documented in the written report.

New Jersey follows IFC §1104, which requires periodic inspection and load testing of fire escapes. The standard interval is 5 years for load testing; visual inspections may be required annually depending on the Atlantic County AHJ. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections verifies the cycle for any specific Linwood address.
A load test applies a controlled load — typically 1,000 pounds per landing, or five times the design live load, whichever is greater — and verifies the structure carries it without permanent deformation. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections performs the test on-site at Linwood properties, documents the procedure, and includes the test results in the certification report submitted to the Atlantic County AHJ.
Pricing depends on the size and configuration of the fire escape and whether load testing is required.

Rust alone is not an automatic failure — section loss is. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections measures and documents the extent of any corrosion and notes whether structural integrity is compromised.
