What affects condo insurance costs in New York?

Condo insurance rates are affected by several factors, including where the condo is located, your credit history, how much coverage you need and claims history (both yours and the unit’s).

“A condominium is an individual unit inside a structure filled with adjoining residential units. The same factors that affect the rates on any other residential structure affect the rates on condominiums. The main things we look at in setting insurance rates are the building’s construction and safety features, the geographic location and the occupancy or use of the property,” Wells says.
