Standard coverages in New York
The coverages detailed below are standard on nearly all condo insurance policies in New York. If you want more protection, you can always add extra coverage.
Cabinets and fixtures
Your association’s coverage typically extends right up to the walls of your unit. Your condo insurance takes over from there. It protects what’s on your side of the walls, plus anything attached to them, such as your cabinets, appliances and flooring.
Example: If a burst pipe damages your kitchen cabinets, we’ll pay for you to repair or replace them.
Your belongings
Condo insurance can help you repair or replace damaged or stolen personal items, such as computers, bicycles, TVs and furniture. You’re covered for damage caused by fire, wind, vandalism, theft and other perils.
Example: If your laptop is stolen from your unit, or from your car, we’ll pay to replace it.
Lawsuits and medical bills
If someone brings a claim or lawsuit against you, condo insurance can help you pay for your defense and court costs. It can also pay for medical expenses for guests who are accidentally injured in your home.
Example: If a guest at your condo trips and falls, we’ll cover their medical expenses.
Emergency living expenses
If you’re temporarily forced from your unit or building due to a covered event, condo insurance can help cover costs such as alternate lodging and other living expenses.
Example: If a fire severely damages your condo, we’ll help pay for your hotel and cover your meals.
