Vacant & partly vacant buildings

Vacant building insurance in NYC

Many standard policies limit coverage once a building sits empty for a while. If your building is vacant, being emptied for a gut renovation, or waiting on a sale, we can look for a policy written for that situation.

What it can cover

  • Property coverage written for a vacant building
  • Liability for the premises while it is empty
  • Coverage that can move to a renovation or occupied policy later
  • Options for partly vacant buildings during lease-up

Who it's for

  • Owners between tenants
  • Buyers who closed on an empty building
  • Buildings waiting on permits or a renovation
  • Estate and family-owned buildings that are empty

What affects your price

  • How long the building has been and will be vacant
  • Security, alarms and how often it is checked
  • Utilities on or off
  • Condition of the roof and building
  • Plans for renovation or sale
  • Location and construction

Coverage depends on the policy and underwriting. We'll explain exactly what your estimate includes.

Buildings are the whole job.

01

Markets not everyone has

02

A sharper price

We shop your building so you see what the market will really offer, and we look for savings without cutting the coverage you need.

03

Buildings. Only buildings.

Buildings are what we do: multifamily, mixed-use, brownstones, HDFC and co-ops, office, industrial and retail buildings, vacant buildings and renovations.
