NEW YORK CITY
A condo board sent me an insurance checklist. Where do I start?
Read a sample building insurance request before submitting a NYC renovation quote or certificate request.
Example: You’re replacing kitchen cabinets in a Queens condo. The managing agent sends a checklist naming two entities, a job address, requested limits and a deadline. Organize the request before forwarding it to Metro.
Break the request into three parts
- Job details. Confirm the building address, unit, work dates and scope.
- Names and delivery. Copy the requested names and mailing addresses exactly. Note who receives the documents.
- Insurance wording. Flag requested limits, endorsements and any sample language. Send the complete checklist so Metro can review the context.
Two terms you may see
- Certificate holder
- The party named as the recipient of the certificate.
- Additional insured
- A party the building is asking to have included under the policy. Ask Metro to review the request against the policy and any endorsements.
