- The Bronx: Especially areas like Mott Haven and Hunts Point, where multi-family units are common, coverage for hazardous materials is non-negotiable.

Common Questions
If your property is vacant for 30+ days, vacant building insurance is recommended, especially for properties more prone to fire and theft. Further, you will need liability coverage to protect you from legal liability claims.
There is no one-size-fits-all! A general estimate is 1.5 to 3 times more than your homeowners’ insurance policy. The policy is generally expensive as the chances of accidents are higher in occupied properties.
Most standard landlord, renters, and homeowners policies cancel coverage after 30 to 60 days. Unless you inform the insurer about the vacancy, how long it will remain vacant, and pay any extra charges the insurance company might apply.
Multiple insurance providers offer vacant home insurance. It is a good idea to approach them via an insurance broker. These agents have expertise in getting affordable yet comprehensive coverage.
Absolutely, you must insure an unoccupied house to protect your content, building structure, and raw materials if it’s under construction. Also, check if your property is in a coastal area and prone to flooding; you will need flood insurance as well.
Not at all. While some insurers are cautious about covering vacant properties, working with an experienced insurance broker like Smart Apple makes the process easy. We compare multiple insurers, explain your options clearly, and help you get covered fast!
