Hi @Ryan Galasso,That is a pretty good basic package of coverage.The main thing I would be concerned about is the potential pollution exclusion and the ability to scale in the future.Most companies have a total pollution exclusion and in the case of tenants, the biggest thing to worry about in that regard is carbon monoxide poisoning from a furnace or water heater. 

Most recently the Gowanus area has exploded after years of being bad rapped because of pollution concerns with the canal.

I currently work full time in environmental casualty insurance and underwrite environmental/pollution insurance policies for anything from large redevelopment mixed use projects to residential construction contractors all over the US.

I would check with your agent to see if they can write it.One of the issues with purchasing a property with an in-ground tank is that you then own any pollution on your new property, even if it happened over time.

Hence gun makers, tobacco companies, polluting energy companies all make legal profits at the expense of society, the environment and the general public.

It handed those bonds off to the California Pollution Control Financing Authority, which finances green projects.

It's best to follow them to prevent the aquifer from becoming polluted and unusable.Will it turn into a geyser and flood you out (???)
