Buildings containing multiple residential units or mixed residential/commercial use create additional exposures.

Property owners should review:

  • Building coverage
  • General Liability
  • Loss of Rents
  • Business Income
  • Ordinance or Law
  • Equipment Breakdown
  • Water Backup
  • Building Glass
  • Crime
  • Cyber coverage
  • Umbrella Liability
  • Workers' Compensation when employees are involved

Residential and commercial portions of a mixed-use building should be accurately disclosed to the insurance company.

Examples include:

  • Apartments above retail stores
  • Apartments above restaurants
  • Apartments above offices
  • Residential/commercial mixed-use buildings

The type of commercial tenant can materially affect underwriting.
