Yes — for any building where the fire escape serves as a required means of egress. The NJ Uniform Fire Code adopts IFC requirements, and the Burlington County fire official enforces them at the Delanco level. Failure to maintain a current inspection can trigger a notice of violation, fines, and ultimately a vacate order.
Both. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections performs visual inspection and, where required by IFC §1104.16.5 or the Burlington County fire official, a 1,000-pound-per-landing load test. The load test is typically required on the 5-year cycle in New Jersey; visual inspections may be more frequent.
Cost varies with the number of landings, total height, and whether a 5-year load test is included. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections quotes each Delanco property individually rather than using a flat rate — pricing reflects the actual scope of work required at that Burlington County, New Jersey address.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 10 business days from the on-site visit. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections can accommodate rush turnaround for Delanco property owners facing a Burlington County code violation deadline, an insurance renewal cutoff, or a New Jersey real estate closing.
No — and that is intentional. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections is an independent inspection firm.
