Issues getting insurance on an old 2-family
Hello BP,
My insurance company just canceled my policy for the following reasons (owner occupied 2-family built in 1780 in CT):
1.) There is a historical plaque on the front of the house and they say there is a possibility the house is on the national historic registry.
2.) The boilers are >25 years old.
3.) They are requesting a Lead-free Certificate, which I do not have
Has anyone run into these issues before? If so, how did you navigate this with your insurance agent? Any suggestions?
-Charlie
