Key Property Improvements for Brooklyn Building Owners
Briefly

As Brooklyn's multi-family property owners confront annual insurance cost increases of up to 20%, implementing strategic building improvements can significantly lower premiums. Key upgrades include installing sprinkler systems, maintaining fire escapes, and ensuring roof and facade integrity. Sprinklers, in particular, are valued by insurers for reducing fire damage risks, while well-maintained roofs prevent costly water damage claims. Additionally, the overall condition of a building's facade reflects its maintenance level, which can impact insurance costs. Owners can also consider a pre-paid rate option to manage insurance hikes more effectively.
