What companies will write insurance on a NYC brownstone being gut renovated?

I am shopping for home insurance on a brownstone I am in contract on and will be closing on in a few weeks. It needs a gut renovation, is a legal single family (and I will be using as a single family) but has no current C of O.

So far Travelers, AllState and Geico won’t because of the renovation. I am waiting to hear back from Chubb and Liberty Mutual.

Any suggestions of companies that will? Or brokers that you have used for similar who would know who does? I am hoping I can get at least 2 companies so I can price compare.
