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 depends on the master-policy form, governing documents, applicable law and endorsements.

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.
General Liability
Responds when someone is hurt on common property, and under a standard form the carrier defends the association as well.
Umbrella / Excess Liability
Sits above the primary liability limits, for the claim that exceeds them. An umbrella generally follows the underlying forms, so what the primary excludes it usually excludes too.
Directors & Officers Liability
Responds when a board member is personally named over a governance decision — defence costs are usually the largest part of it.
Crime and Fidelity
Covers theft of association funds by an employee or volunteer, and — where the form is extended for it — by a third party. Lender guidelines commonly set a minimum limit based on the funds you hold.
Ordinance or Law
Meets the extra cost of rebuilding to today's code after a covered loss, when the original construction no longer complies. It is bought in parts, each with its own limit, and 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. Loss assessment carries its own limit, which is worth reading against the master deductible.
Workers compensation and earthquake are available separately, and are quoted alongside the program where an association needs them. Coverage descriptions here are general: availability varies by jurisdiction, association type and carrier, and the policy issued governs.
What we find
New York HOA Insurance Considerations
What we check first on a New York association's master policy. Each can be verified before a claim rather than after one.
01 NY Real Property Law and Condominium Act govern association insurance obligations
We confirm this against your current policy and set the finding out in writing.
02 Local Law 11 (FISP) facade inspection requirements affect building valuation
We confirm this against your current policy and set the finding out in writing.
03 NYC properties face significantly higher replacement cost valuations
We confirm this against your current policy and set the finding out in writing.
04 Cooperative corporations have distinct D&O and fidelity exposure
We confirm this against your current policy and set the finding out in writing.
We identify which of these apply to your association, and put the findings in writing.
Request Insurance ReviewThe 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 directly appointed markets that write your risk 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.
Our markets
Markets a board will recognize
Direct appointments with twelve markets — national insurers alongside the specialists.
One submission goes out to the markets that write it. Carrier availability varies by state, association type and risk profile, and not every market is approached on every placement.
