NYC Water & Sewer Insurance Program
« on: November 01, 2014, 10:32:59 PM »
I read about this program over Shabbos and was wondering if anyone in NYC had any experience with the program?

Reviews I read online made it seem that a lot of the claims that individuals put in for were rejected on the basis of pre existing conditions but no proof was given as to how the insurance company came to that conclusion.

Link to the program.. http://www.nyc.gov/html/dep/html/service_line_protection/index.shtml

Anyone ever had a benefit out of this program or is it a waste of money?

Yes, I know someone. Saved them tens of thousands of dollars. Was a full day project. They basically broken open the whole street in front of the house (street was blocked off for the whole day).

That type of repair is usually the utility's responsibility.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

-1, its not. From the main until the house meter is the homeowners responsibility and precisely what the insurance program is for.

Interesting. In many other places, the customer is only responsible from the property line to the house.

Correct. That’s how it works in NYC

I once heard that whenever you call them they’ll do everything possible to say the issue is up until the street and there not responsible.
Anyone else have any experiences with them?
