Fire escape inspections in Morris Township 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 Morris County, New Jersey fire official.

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 Morris County fire official enforces them at the Morris Township 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 Morris 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.
