Insurance underwriters evaluating NYC properties need data-driven risk assessment. A property's violation history, building systems compliance, construction quality, and regulatory status directly impact risk profiles. Buildings with chronic violations, deferred maintenance, or safety compliance issues represent higher underwriting risk.

The Challenge

Traditional insurance underwriting relies on inspections and applicant disclosures, which may not capture the full picture of a building's regulatory compliance. Open violations for fire safety, structural issues, or building systems failures represent material risk factors that should inform pricing and coverage decisions.

How RegWatch Helps

RegWatch enables insurance underwriters to quickly assess a property's regulatory risk profile. Review violation history across DOB, HPD, FDNY, and other agencies, check building systems compliance (elevators, boilers, sprinklers), and identify patterns that indicate deferred maintenance or systemic issues.

STEP 02

Assess violation history

Review open and historical violations, focusing on fire safety, structural, and building systems issues.
