Independent third-party inspection. NJ Uniform Fire Code compliant. Reports formatted for the Merchantville, New Jersey fire official and your insurance carrier.

Camden County runs from distressed urban housing in Camden City to suburban Cherry Hill and Voorhees. Inherited row houses and twin homes are a major part of Tony's Camden pipeline.

The inspection covers every structural component of the fire escape: stringers, treads, landings, handrails, balusters, attachment brackets, drop-down ladder mechanism, counterweight assembly, and the masonry or structural connections to the building. Conditions are photographed and logged with severity classifications. The report becomes both the AHJ submission and a working document for any Camden County, New Jersey structural contractor providing repair quotes for a Merchantville property.
