The inspection covers every structural component of the fire escape: stringers, treads, landings, handrails, balusters, attachment brackets, drop-down ladder mechanism, counterweight assembly, and the masonry or structural connections to the building. Conditions are photographed and logged with severity classifications. The report becomes both the AHJ submission and a working document for any Sussex County, New Jersey structural contractor providing repair quotes for a Wantage property.
