If you live in a building made up of condominium units, there must be some legal governing body by way of which all owners share in the ownership of the common areas and limited common areas.

Whatever this governing body might be, your governing documents should provide for a master insurance policy.

Your insurance broker can help you figure out what coverage is on the building, and so what coverage you are required or advised to buy.

How much should I be paying for condo insurance?

The value of your insurance depends upon the value of your condo. The important thing is that you have enough insurance to replace the condo. If you got the condo for a low price many years ago you can't insure it for that because you'd not be able to get another to replace if it were destroyed. The cost of the insurance on yor condo is based on several factors. In some cases your condo association will dictate the amount of coverage you must have.


Can a condo president keep your condo insurance from Hurricane Sandy?

Any master policy that covers the association is subject to the vagaries of the issuing insurer. The business of insuring the association's assets is under the leadership of the association's president. There may be a requirement in your governing documents to maintain a master policy, in which case, the board's obligation is to find coverage. After a natural disaster and its claims, some insurers refuse to re-insure, or only re-insure at very high premium rates. You can encourage your president to abide by the governing documents regarding insuring association assets, while exploring the best coverage for the lowest premium.
