If you have purchased a condo or co-op, the bank will require insurance to protect its investment in your home. You may also need more insurance to cover your personal items, liability or fees that may be charged to you regarding shared areas of the building like the lobby.
You will need two separate policies to protect your investment.
To adequately insure your residence, it is important to know which structural parts of your home are covered by the condo/co-op association, and which are not. Sometimes the association is responsible for insuring individual condos or co-op units, as they were originally built, including standard fixtures. The individual owner, in this case, is only responsible for alterations to the original structure of the apartment, like remodeling the kitchen or bathtub. Sometimes this includes not only improvements you make, but also those made by previous owners. In other situations, the condo/co-op association is responsible only for insuring the bare walls, floor and ceiling. The owner must insure kitchen cabinets, built-in appliances, plumbing, wiring, bathroom fixtures, etc. Be sure to read the association's by-laws and your lease to determine what insurance you should purchase.
