Post-incident inspection on an expedited timeline — for Ocean City property owners and managers needing the AHJ to clear re-occupancy.
The Cape May County, New Jersey AHJ typically requires post-incident inspection before lifting any occupancy restriction on a Ocean City building. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections performs the inspection on an emergency timeline, performs a load test where appropriate, and provides the certification needed to clear re-occupancy.

Cape May County tax rates are moderate (1.0-1.6%) but high property values mean meaningful annual bills.
