Hurricane Damage and Property Insurance Claims

New York is becoming more susceptible to severe storms and hurricanes, which can cause significant damage to condominium buildings. This damage threatens the structural integrity of these buildings and raises concerns about compliance with local safety regulations. Condominium associations often face challenges when dealing with property insurance claims, leading to disputes or the denial of coverage. According to a CoreLogic report, New York ranks among the top five states with the highest number of homes at risk from hurricane-force winds, with approximately 3.8 million homes in the NY area facing moderate or greater risk.

Our attorneys have extensive experience helping NY condominium associations:

  • File accurate and timely claims to maximize insurance coverage
  • Appeal denied or underpaid claims to secure fair compensation
  • Navigate complex policy language to ensure compliance with insurance requirements and local building regulations

Addressing Building Compliance Concerns

While NYC has its own comprehensive building codes, condo associations across New York State must also comply with local and state-level construction and safety requirements under the Uniform Code.

Delayed repairs or inadequate insurance payouts may complicate the compliance process, putting your condominium association at risk.

Our legal team works to:

  • Prioritize building code compliance needs when filing claims to meet NY regulatory requirements
  • Coordinate with engineers, architects, and inspectors to thoroughly document damage and necessary repairs
  • Provide robust legal representation if disputes arise with insurers regarding coverage for compliance-related repairs

With our proactive approach, your association can confidently manage deadlines and fully comply with New York building codes and regulations.
