Schedule the inspection, deliver the report, complete repairs, re-inspect, close the violation — for West Cape May property owners on a deadline.
When the Cape May County fire marshal issues a notice of violation citing the fire escape on a West Cape May, New Jersey property, the clock starts. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections schedules the inspection to fit the deadline, delivers the report, and returns for re-inspection after repairs are complete to close the violation with the AHJ.

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

The deadline is specified on the notice — typically 30, 60, or 90 days, though it can be shorter for serious safety conditions. Read the notice carefully and act promptly; missed deadlines trigger escalating fines.
In some cases, yes — particularly when the property owner has demonstrated good-faith progress (inspection completed, repair contractor engaged, work scheduled). Communicate proactively. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections's inspection report and the repair contract can support an extension request.
The independent inspection report is the factual record. If the cited conditions are not actually present, the report documents that. If they are present, the report classifies severity. Either way the report is what the AHJ ultimately reviews.
No. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections is independent and does not perform repairs. After the inspection identifies deficiencies, the property owner takes the report to a qualified structural or welding contractor for competitive repair quotes.
Fines escalate. The AHJ may issue additional enforcement actions including increased fines, additional re-inspection fees, and in serious cases a vacate order. Schedule the inspection promptly even if repairs cannot be completed before the deadline, and communicate progress to the AHJ.
