Fire escape inspections in Roselle Park 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 Union 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 Union County fire official enforces them at the Roselle Park 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 Roselle Park properties, documents the procedure, and includes the test results in the certification report submitted to the Union County AHJ.
Pricing depends on the size and configuration of the fire escape and whether load testing is required.

No — and that is intentional. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections is an independent inspection firm. Property owners in Roselle Park, New Jersey take the inspection report to any qualified structural or welding contractor in Union County for repair quotes. The separation eliminates the conflict of interest of an inspector who also sells repair work.
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. Union County inspectors and New Jersey fire officials rely on this kind of measured documentation to decide enforcement.
The Authority Having Jurisdiction in Union 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 Roselle Park fire officials require.
