[sudo-discuss] IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ

[Laura Turiano]

Hi everyone,

After I asked our insurance agent why our property insurance will be 
going up $800 this year, she sent the following reply from the company:

/On a side note, it appears the condition of this building has 
drastically deteriorated over the years. The current condition of the 
building is below average and is unacceptable. We will remain on this 
account for one more year but please be advised that we will be setting 
this account up for nonrenewal. If the insured is able to provide proof 
of building updates and proper maintenance, we may be able to review 
this account again for eligibility.  In additional, updates would allow 
us to approach other carriers for alternate quotes./

*If we lose our property insurance and are unable to find another 
company (unlikely and, if we can, the rate will be high), we will 
probably not be able to refinance and we will lose the building. *
**

Our agent thinks they are basing their evaluation of the building 
condition only upon seeing the exterior, possibly on google street view. 
That is why they have asked to do the inspection that I have already 
told you about. I think that will happen on Thursday 2/13

We need all hands on deck over the next 2 weeks to make the building 
look as good as possible, inside and out. That means:

- fire safety equipment all in working order, NO clutter, no fire hazards
- condition of any wiring as good as possible
- exterior condition as good as possible, no graffiti, clean, EH windows 
fixed and window sills repaired and painted, new awning up
- any roof trouble spots fixed
- general interior condition should look as good and safe as possible, 
general painting where needed, everything clean and in working order
- fixing anything that could be seen as a safety hazard.

I propose an emergency meeting tomorrow evening at 7pm to get organized 
to tackle these things.

Laura
