Association Coverage: The buildings and individual units are covered for damage by an insured peril. The Association's program of insurance covers the units as they were originally equipped by the builder, including internal walls, cabinets, fixtures, installations comprising a permanent part of the building, and installed contractor-grade appliance (furnace, air conditioner, water heater, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, garbage disposal). All upgrades, including floor covering upgrades whether carpet, tile, wood, or other material as well as upgrades to appliances, cabinets, counters, wall coverings and bath fixtures and cabinetry, are not included in the Association's program; they should be included in the Unit Owner's policy. The Association's policy has a $5000 deductible, for which the Unit Owner is responsible in the event of a claim.

Each Unit Owner is required to maintain insurance on the contents of his or her Unit, and to maintain coverage for his or her Unit to the extent not covered by the Association's insurance policies. Each Unit Owner shall provide or cause to be provided to the Managing Agent a certificate of insurance or other proof of insurance as accepted by the Board upon request or upon the issuance of a new policy.

Each Unit Owner within the Association must obtain insurance coverage of their personal liability and compensatory (not consequential) damages to another unit caused by the negligence of the Owner or his or her guests, residents or invitees, or regardless of negligence originating from the Unit. The personal liability of a Unit Owner will also include the deductible of the Owner whose unit was damaged. If a Unit Owner does not purchase or produce evidence of insurance coverage, the Board, after 30 days notice to the Unit Owner, may purchase the insurance coverage and charge the premium cost back to the Unit Owner.
