If you have purchased a condo or co-op, the bank will require insurance
to protect its investment in your home. You may, however, need more insurance
to cover your personal items, liability or fees that may be charged to you
regarding shared areas of the building like the lobby.
You will need two separate policies to protect your investment:
To adequately insure your unit, it is important to know what structural parts of your home are covered by the condo/co-op association and what are not. You can do this by reading your association’s bylaws and/or proprietary lease. If you have questions, talk to your condo association, family attorney, or your friendly customer service agent here at All Access Insurance Services, LLC.
Sometimes the association is responsible for insuring the individual condo or co-op units, as they were originally built, including standard fixtures. The individual owner, in this case, is only responsible for alterations to the original structure of the apartment, like remodeling the kitchen or bathtub. Sometimes this includes not only improvements you make, but those made by previous owners.
In other situations, the condo/co-op association is responsible only for insuring the bare walls, floor and ceiling. The owner must insure kitchen cabinets, built-in appliances, plumbing, wiring, bathroom fixtures etc.
