A Window into Our Apartment Insurance Program
Our City Multifamily program consists of a package policy that includes Property and General Liability insurance. Following are some of the key features of our City Multifamily Insurance program in Charlotte, North Carolina:
- We write apartment buildings and mixed-use buildings that have commercial retail on the ground floor and apartments or condos above – so you can target a wide range of risks.
- There are no age restrictions on the buildings we write. We will insure older properties as long as their building systems (e.g., electrical, HVAC) have been updated within the last 25 years.
- We write joisted masonry or better construction – from 2 to 100 units.
- Property coverage is written on an all-risks basis, with the property’s valuation based on replacement cost with an agreed-value amount.
- Sewer and Drain Backup coverage is included, providing protection for water damage and repair costs if a sewer or drain backs up into the building.
- Equipment Breakdown protection for building machinery, heating/cooling systems, and miscellaneous electrical apparatus is a part of our Property form to protect your insureds from the costs of unforeseen damages and expensive repairs.
- Ordinance or Law coverage (A, B, C) is automatically included in our Property coverage.
- You can offer additional coverages to beef up your insured’s protection, including Flood and Earthquake insurance.
You can also offer your clients access to a list of qualified tradespeople through Sedgwick Repair Services to take care of repairs when something goes wrong in their units or buildings. Offering them expert contractors to make repairs helps differentiate your agency from competitors.
On the Liability insurance side, we offer $1 million/$2 million in coverages with the ability to offer Hired and Non-Owned Auto and Employee Liability Benefits insurance.
