General liability

General liability insurance for landlords

In New York, injury claims are a real cost of owning a building. General liability helps protect you when someone is hurt on your property and you are held responsible.

Buildings are the whole job.

01

Markets not everyone has

Access to insurance markets and programs for real estate that aren't available everywhere — more options to compare for your building.

02

A sharper price

We shop your building so you see what the market will really offer, and we look for savings without cutting the coverage you need.

03

Buildings. Only buildings.

Buildings are what we do: multifamily, mixed-use, brownstones, HDFC and co-ops, office, industrial and retail buildings, vacant buildings and renovations.
