Common Property Claims in Old City and Society Hill
Historic properties bring some of the most complex claims in the city, since centuries-old brick, original woodwork, and period details are difficult to match and costly to restore. Many of these homes sit within designated historic districts, where repairs may need to meet preservation requirements that raise costs well beyond a standard estimate, and making sure those costs are recognized in the claim is essential. Old City's converted industrial buildings bring their own challenges, as water from a single unit can travel through open loft layouts and shared systems, raising questions about how responsibility is divided between building and unit owner policies. Aging sewer and drainage lines can cause basement backups during heavy storms, and properties near Penn's Landing face greater exposure to wind and wind-driven rain off the Delaware River. Closely spaced buildings let fire and smoke move quickly from one property to the next, and for the restaurants, bars, and galleries that draw crowds to the neighborhood, income lost while repairs are underway is often a major part of the claim.
Our consultants handle each claim for the policyholder alone, confirming coverage, documenting the loss, and presenting a claim built for a fair and complete recovery.
