BILL NUMBER:S3207
Title of bill
An act to amend the insurance law, in relation to the denial of certain insurance claims; and to amend the general municipal law, in relation to requiring certain municipal and government entities to notify mortgagees and lien holders when such entities are denied access to inspect certain real properties
Purpose or general idea of bill
Grants insurance companies authority to deny certain insurance claims for illegally converted dwellings.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1. The insurance law is amended by adding new section 3407-b.
Justification
Currently, government agencies that inspect for illegal conversions are prohibited from entering dwellings unless they have permission, which allows the resident to deny access to the agency and avoid an inspection. This bill will allow insurance companies to deny certain property insurance claims for properties that have been illegally converted or properties that have not been able to be properly inspected for such conditions, thus forcing property owners to comply with inspection regulations to not be denied possible claims in the future.
