Is the inspection fee separate from the certification document for Hazlet properties?

How long does it take to receive the inspection report for a Hazlet property?

Does Oyster Fire Escape Inspections also perform repairs on Hazlet fire escapes?

No — and that is intentional. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections is an independent inspection firm. Property owners in Hazlet, New Jersey take the inspection report to any qualified structural or welding contractor in Monmouth County for repair quotes. The separation eliminates the conflict of interest of an inspector who also sells repair work.

Will my Hazlet fire escape fail the inspection if it has rust?

Rust alone is not an automatic failure — section loss is. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections measures and documents the extent of any corrosion and notes whether structural integrity is compromised. Monmouth County inspectors and New Jersey fire officials rely on this kind of measured documentation to decide enforcement.

Will the Hazlet AHJ accept this report or will they require their own inspection?

The Authority Having Jurisdiction in Monmouth County accepts third-party inspection reports prepared in accordance with the NJ Uniform Fire Code and IFC §1104. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections reports include the documentation elements Hazlet fire officials require.
