Cumberland County is South Jersey rural — Vineland, Millville, Bridgeton. Older homes that haven't been updated in decades make up most of Tony's purchases here.
Cumberland County has some of the lowest assessed values in NJ but tax rates that average 3.0-4.0%, an unusual combination.
Cumberland title work tends to be straightforward; rural properties may require extra title cleanup on agricultural-history parcels.

Fire escape inspections in Shiloh typically uncover the same recurring conditions: corrosion at attachment points where the structure meets the masonry, paint applied over rust that hides section loss, loose or missing bolts at handrail and tread connections, drop-down ladders frozen by paint or rust, and counterweights that no longer release the ladder freely. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections documents each condition with photographs, locations, and severity classifications so the property owner — or their structural repair contractor — has a clear scope of work for any required remediation. The same report becomes the certification submitted to the Cumberland County, New Jersey fire official.

Yes — for any building where the fire escape serves as a required means of egress.

Failure to maintain a current inspection can trigger a notice of violation, fines, and ultimately a vacate order.
