Local claim risks
- Nor’easter wind
- Ice dams
- Burst pipes
- Fire
- Flat-roof leaks
Insurance appraisal in Pawtucket often involves flat or low-slope roofs on three-deckers, where a membrane failure or ice buildup lets water into the top-floor unit and down through the building. Shared stairways, back porches and party walls mean one loss can touch several households.
Mill buildings and mixed-use blocks
Converted mills now hold apartments, studios and businesses. Their brick walls, timber framing and large window systems call for specialist pricing, and the claims can involve both a building owner and several commercial tenants.
What owners of multi-family homes should gather
- Leases and rent records if units are uninhabitable (loss of rents)
- Photos of each unit and common area
- Invoices for emergency roof tarping, water extraction or board-up
