Independent third-party inspection. NJ Uniform Fire Code compliant. Reports formatted for the Waterford, New Jersey fire official and your insurance carrier.
Fire escapes on older properties in Waterford typically have not been load tested in years — sometimes decades. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections performs the periodic inspection and load test required under NJ code, and delivers a written report ready for submission to the Camden County, New Jersey fire official.
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.
Camden County tax rates average 2.7-3.5%; Camden City carries some of the highest effective rates in the country relative to home value.
