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 South Harrison level. Failure to maintain a current inspection can trigger a notice of violation, fines, and ultimately a vacate order.
A load test applies a controlled load — typically 1,000 pounds per landing, or five times the design live load, whichever is greater — and verifies the structure carries it without permanent deformation. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections performs the test on-site at South Harrison properties, documents the procedure, and includes the test results in the certification report submitted to the Gloucester County AHJ.
Cost varies with the number of landings, total height, and whether a 5-year load test is included.
