Our reports highlight potential hazards like corrosion, deterioration, or loose fasteners—so they can be addressed before they pose safety risks.
Compliance & Violation Prevention
Stay ahead of NJ Fire Code and DCA enforcement with certified inspection reports tailored for commercial properties. We help you avoid costly violations, delays in occupancy permits, and unplanned downtime during compliance audits.
The Commercial Inspection Process
Visual & Structural Assessment
A certified inspector evaluates the condition of all fire escape components, including treads, stairs, platforms, and bolts, to identify corrosion or structural weaknesses.
Functionality & Accessibility Review
We verify that all fire escapes are fully accessible, unobstructed, and operable during an emergency—ensuring compliance with both fire and building codes.
Load Testing (When Required)
Certain jurisdictions or property types may require structural load testing to confirm strength and durability under stress. Our team coordinates all testing and documentation as needed for DCA approval.
Detailed Reporting & Certification
Following the inspection, we provide a comprehensive engineer-stamped report detailing findings, photographic evidence, and repair recommendations. Once issues are resolved, we issue a DCA-compliant certification for your records and submission.

Hear from clients who trust EvacuSafe Solutions for their DCA inspections and certifications.
How often should commercial fire escapes be inspected and certified?
Under NJ Fire Code (N.J.A.C. 5:70) and national safety standards, commercial fire escapes must be inspected and certified every five years by a Registered Design Professional or certified inspector. This ensures the structure remains code-compliant and capable of providing a safe exit during emergencies.
What does a commercial fire escape inspection include?
A commercial fire escape inspection involves a critical visual examination of stairs, treads, platforms, and connection points for rust, corrosion, or loose hardware. Inspectors document all findings in a detailed report submitted to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and may conduct load testing or engineer affidavits to complete certification requirements.
Why is certification important for commercial properties?
Certification confirms that a commercial fire escape is structurally sound, safe, and compliant with all local and state regulations. It protects building owners from liability, prevents DCA or municipal violations, and ensures occupants have a reliable means of egress in case of fire or emergency. EvacuSafe Solutions provides engineer-certified reports accepted by NJ DCA and local fire departments.
