HOA Insurance in New York

Master insurance for the association, HO-6 for the unit owner, and a written record of why each was placed the way it was — for New York community associations.

The master policy

HOA Insurance for New York Associations

New York's condominium and cooperative landscape is among the most complex in the country. From high-rise co-ops in Manhattan to suburban HOAs upstate, New York associations face demanding insurance requirements, high replacement costs, and evolving regulatory obligations. We help NY boards place coverage that meets these challenges.

Where the master policy ends and a unit owner's HO-6 begins is set by your governing documents. It is the question New York boards raise with us most often.

Coverage

Coverages We Place in New York

Placed as one program, so the limits and deductibles agree with each other rather than being bought in isolation.

Commercial Property

Rebuilds the shared buildings and common elements after a covered loss, at replacement cost rather than depreciated value. Includes equipment breakdown for shared boilers, elevators and HVAC.

General Liability

Responds when someone is hurt on common property, and pays the cost of defending the association.

Umbrella / Excess Liability

Sits above the primary liability limits, for the claim that exceeds them.

Directors & Officers Liability

Defends board members personally when a decision they made is challenged.

Crime and Fidelity

Covers theft of association funds, whether by an employee, a volunteer or a third party. Lenders set a minimum limit based on the funds you hold.

Ordinance or Law

Pays the extra cost of rebuilding to today's code when the original construction no longer complies, which matters most in older buildings.

HO-6 Unit Owner Coverage

The owner's side of the same arrangement — interior finishes, belongings, personal liability and loss assessment, written against your association's actual master policy.

Workers compensation and earthquake are available separately, and are quoted alongside the program where an association needs them.

The process

Review. Compare. Place. Record.

Four stages, in order, on a schedule the board can hold us to.

01
Review

We read the current policies, the loss runs and the governing documents, and identify where the coverage and the bylaws disagree.
02
Compare

We approach our appointed markets and set the responses beside one another on coverage, deductibles and limits.
03
Place

We bind the option the board selects and confirm the certificates, mortgagee clauses and lender evidence are correct.
04
Record

We issue The Board Record so the decision, and the reasoning behind it, is documented for the minutes.
