This is a typical underwriting guide, written by an insurance company that insures homes in NY State. While this is pretty normal, there are exceptions to every rule and an underwriter's interpretation.
1.Risks with prior losses in the last 5 years need prior approval.
2.For dwellings under renovation, contact your Underwriter for approval.
3.Occupancy 1 & 2 family dwellings.
4.Risk must pass physical inspection.
5.Photo inspection required for all locations (dwelling front and rear and all other structures).
NYC HO 70A, Additional Location(s) Section II Liability must submit photo.
NOTE: If photo inspection is not submitted we will need specific driving directions for
locating the risk for inspection purposes.
6.All other structures on the residence premises and their usage must be disclosed to the company and photo must be submitted.
7.An ISO Home Value is required with all new applications.
8.No unsupported seasonal or secondary locations.
9.Coverage A Limits exceeding $1,000,000 refer to company. NOTE: Interior inspections are completed by Company for homes $500,000 & above.
10.Select Program (0 – 12 years old)
Special Program (13 – 30 years old)
- Coverage A must be written at 100% of Replacement Cost.

12.No homes with fuses – must have 100% circuit breakers
Some older city homes maybe don't pass these guidelines but if you have a new buyer who plans on doing renovations, many insurance company underwriter's will understand but would aslo want pictures of the work in progress.
