I happen to be in this site and ran across the Comments on rising Insurance Costs. I would love to give anyone that may be interested a comparison price quote through Chubb, Fireman's Fund, AIG, Travelers or Tower. My husband and I own an independent agency and we write quite a number of brownstones. Please feel free to either email me at Patti@ccpinsurance.com or call me at 516-484-5200. My husband is in the area at least once a week to do inspections and is available for appointments.

Hi Hbranty,

This is Joe from Curran Cooney Penny Agency. I work in the commerical department at our office and can assist you with your rental property. If it is a Frame house then your options are limited but I can get you some quotes, but if it is Brick/brownstone and well kept/well maintained property than I can offer you some very competetive pricing. Please give me a call at 516 484-5200 and I will be glad to answer any questions you may have.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Batfish,

I work for an agency in Long Island that writes a lot of Building insurance in Brooklyn and Queens. Jest last week we wrote a 7 family with a Jewelry store on the first floor in the 11209 zip code with a company we do a lot of advertising with. In this clients particular case, they decided to insure the 4800 sq foot building for $648,000 in Building coverage, the policy included Special Form(which means water damage is included, for example a pipe burst) loss of rents, equipment breakdown for the boiler, and $1,000,000 occurence $2,000,000 aggregate for liability. The annual premium is $2,268.09. Depending on what the store is we may not be able to write it with this company, for example a bar or restaurant or a deli with deep fryers/grills, but in most instances that is not a problem. As long as the building is an above average, well kept building, with circuit breakers it will have no problem qualifying with the company's guidelines. Please give me a call at 516 484-5200.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi - to those who mentioned using Brownstone Agency (AIG) - were these quotes related to quotes for owner-occupied 3 family homes? I was quoted $11,091.90 for 3 years from an insurance broker.
