The inspection process for a Sea Bright fire escape begins with a visual examination of every structural component: stringers, treads, landings, handrails, balusters, attachment brackets, drop-down ladder mechanism, and the masonry or structural connections. Where the AHJ requires it — and Monmouth County, New Jersey jurisdictions vary on this — a load test is performed at 1,000 pounds per landing or five times the design live load, whichever is greater, in accordance with IFC §1104.16.5. The full scope is documented in the written report.

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 Monmouth County fire official enforces them at the Sea Bright 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 Monmouth 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 Sea Bright property individually rather than using a flat rate — pricing reflects the actual scope of work required at that Monmouth County, New Jersey address.
