Co-op Insurance in NYC

Board Requirements
Navigating NYC Co-op Board Requirements
Many co-op boards require assessment coverage for your share of building-wide losses or major repairs, plus specific liability limits, deductibles, additional insured wording and proof of insurance. Our licensed agents work with co-op boards, managing agents, and typical recognition agreement language every day.
Whether your building requires contents coverage, betterments coverage, or higher liability limits, we tailor your policy to match — and provide certificates showing personal liability limits that meet the building's stated minimums, commonly $300,000, $500,000 or $1,000,000.
- Same-day certificates of insurance for closings, alterations or board review.
- Liability tiers of $300K, $500K, $1M or higher to satisfy your board.
- Loss assessment coverage for your share of building-wide losses.
- Recognition agreement language handled with your managing agent.
What's Covered
What Your Co-op Policy Can Cover
Co-op insurance typically covers your personal property, interior structures or alterations you are responsible for under your proprietary lease, and personal liability.
Personal Possessions
Your wardrobe, furniture, household goods, computer and other personal items are insured if damaged by fire, stolen from your home, or damaged by other insured perils.
Structure & Betterments
Insure upgrades and alterations to your unit — upgraded kitchens and bathrooms, custom paint and flooring, built-ins and partitions the master policy may not cover.
Co-op Liability
Covers you against lawsuits for property damage or bodily injury that you or resident family members are legally responsible for — limits from $300,000 to $1,000,000+.
Additional Living Expenses
Pays hotel bills, temporary living arrangements, meals and other extra expenses while your home is being repaired after a covered loss.
Loss Assessment
Helps cover your share when the board levies assessments after building-wide damage, large master-policy deductibles, or liability losses.
Covered Perils
Fire, smoke, lightning, theft, vandalism, wind & hail, freezing of plumbing or heating systems, and water damage from ruptured water or steam heating systems.
