Policies

Individual Insurance Policy

Master Policy provided by the Condominium / Cooperative Board

Master Policies cover areas that you share with other residents such, typically referred to as common areas, such as courtyards, lobbies, pools, elevators, basements, roofs, and other recreational areas. Read your association’s bylaws to gain a firm grasp on what parts of your home fall under the coverage of the condo/cooperative association. This will help you adequately insure your dwelling. Call us with any questions you may have or speak with your association or perhaps an attorney.

The degree of coverage can vastly vary between condo/cooperative associations. In one instance the dwellings may be insured as originally built and in the other only the walls, bare floors and ceiling structures may be insured, leaving the owner to cover all appliances, fixtures, plumbing and wiring.
