Interview Source for Evaluation of Insurance Claims and Coverage of New York City Home and Mixed-Use Buildings Following Hurricane Irene
Urban Mixed-Use Building and Homeowner Insurance Expert Stu Cohen Available to Discuss Insurance Coverage of Catastrophic Events Following the Recent Earthquake and Hurricane Irene
NEW YORK, Sept. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- It's the first weekend following the devastation that was Hurricane Irene. For New York home and building owners, this Labor Day weekend is taking on a whole new connotation. Instead of weekend barbecues or a weekend away, small building owners in New York City and surrounding suburbs will be laboring over a major property and home cleanup. Many who were forced to evacuate and then rush back to work are just beginning to assess the real damage -- and finding out the grim news about what is and isn't covered by their insurance policies.
In Irene's aftermath, city building owners are left with more questions than answers. How is water damage assessed? What constitutes wind damage? Is my home on a flood plain and can I only get flood insurance from the federal government?
