Oyster Fire Escape Inspections does not perform fire escape repairs. That separation matters. An inspector who also sells repair work has a financial reason to find more deficiencies; an independent inspector documents what is actually present.

Yes — for any building where the fire escape serves as a required means of egress. The NJ Uniform Fire Code adopts IFC requirements, and the Gloucester County fire official enforces them at the Franklin level. Failure to maintain a current inspection can trigger a notice of violation, fines, and ultimately a vacate order.
Both. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections performs visual inspection and, where required by IFC §1104.16.5 or the Gloucester County fire official, a 1,000-pound-per-landing load test. The load test is typically required on the 5-year cycle in New Jersey; visual inspections may be more frequent.
Cost varies with the number of landings, total height, and whether a 5-year load test is included. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections quotes each Franklin property individually rather than using a flat rate — pricing reflects the actual scope of work required at that Gloucester County, New Jersey address.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 10 business days from the on-site visit. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections can accommodate rush turnaround for Franklin property owners facing a Gloucester County code violation deadline, an insurance renewal cutoff, or a New Jersey real estate closing.
