Hurricane Recovery: A rundown of lessons learned from previous storms from Becker Shareholder Joseph E. Adams

Hurricane Recovery: A rundown of lessons learned from previous storms from Becker Shareholder Joseph E. Adams

Hurricane Recovery: A rundown of lessons learned from previous storms from Becker Shareholder Joseph E. Adams

Recovery From Hurricane Ian

Unfortunately, Hurricane Ian was a historic storm and has left a wide and substantial swath of damage across Southwest Florida. As we all work to recover from the ongoing effects of Hurricane Ian, I would like to share a few pointers we have learned from past storms and some things we are experiencing with Ian:

  1. Flood Damage: A significant part of Ian’s damage resulted from rising water, which is generally and generically referred to as “flood damage”. It is very important to note that flood insurance and processing flood insurance claims is covered by federal law, not Florida law. Among the notable differences, federal law requires that a “Proof of Loss” be filed for flood claims within 60 days, and the statute of limitations under flood policies is one year.
  2. Disaster Recovery Contractors: There are a number of large national companies, as well as others, who employ large crews of “storm chasers”, and arrive at disaster sites to shore up the property, dry it in, and dry it out. This is critical work and many of these companies are reputable, but not all are. Bills for significant damage sites can quickly approach seven figures (one million dollars plus) without proper justification. Associations can understandably feel under pressure to sign these companies up quickly but there are several critical things to keep in mind:
  • Approval From Your Insurer: Most reputable companies will be known to your insurers and be able to demonstrate they have the “go ahead” from the insurer before engaging in major work.
  • “Mapping”: As Southwest Florida is a significant disaster zone, insurance adjustors are overwhelmed and one may not visit your property for weeks, or longer. It is very important that the disaster relief contractor properly document the conditions it finds and remediates, commonly known as “mapping.”
  • “Assignment of Benefits”: Historically, various participants in this field have asked for an assignment of the association’s insurance policy rights, known as an “AOB”’. AOB contracts are now strictly regulated by statute but should never be given to an outside contractor.

While getting dry-out work started quickly is critical, the association should not enter into a contract with a remediation company, or any vendor, if the association is not comfortable with the term of the agreement and confident in the company. It is always better to take a step back and make a thoughtful decision than to rush into a bad agreement.

  1. Application Of Your Community’s Governing Documents: If the association has experienced significant damage, it is critical that the association be aware of the requirements of the governing documents, especially for condominiums. For example, many documents state that if a certain percentage of the units are rendered “uninhabitable” (usually an undefined term), the condominium is automatically “terminated” (legally extinguished) if a vote to rebuild is not taken, often in a very short time frame such as 60 days after the loss. Other “gotcha” clauses in documents might include the requirement to have a bank act as “insurance trustee” for insurance proceeds.
  2. Emergency Powers: The “emergency powers” provisions of the statutes are now in effect. Among other powers conferred are the power to contract for debris removal and authorize appropriate remediation, including removal of wet drywall and cabinetry, subject to any limitations of the condominium documents. The emergency powers statute also gives associations flexibility in noticing and holding membership and board meetings. As much as is practicable, you should consult with your association’s attorney regarding use of the statutory emergency powers.

The next few months will be a trying time for everyone in Southwest Florida and practically every community association will have to deal with some consequence from Hurricane Ian. The decisions that board members and owners make at this time will, to a great degree, determine outcome for many communities.

Joseph E. Adams is a Board Certified Specialist in Condominium and Planned Development Law, and an Office Managing Shareholder with Becker & Poliakoff.

THE BENEFITS OF FLAT CONCRETE ROOFS VERSUS WOOD-TRUSSED TILED ROOFS IN FLORIDA by SRI Consultants, Inc.

THE BENEFITS OF FLAT CONCRETE ROOFS
VERSUS WOOD-TRUSSED TILED ROOFS IN FLORIDA

BY: SHIRISH RAJPATHAK, M.S., P.E., S. I. | PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER of SRI Consultants, inc. Specialists in structural engineering, civil engineering.

 

In the architectural and building construction industry, the type of roofing material used can have far-reaching implications not only on the aesthetics of the building but also on the functionality, durability, and cost-effectiveness of the structure. This blog post seeks to compare two types of roofing systems – flat concrete roofs and wood-trussed tiled roofs – in the context of Florida’s challenging weather conditions and the potential for high insurance costs, costly repairs following hurricanes, and fire hazards. It also aims to underscore the advantages of flat concrete roofs in terms of their utilization for gardening, solar panels, and recreational activities.
Flat Concrete Roofs vs. Trussed Tiled Roofs: A Comparative Analysis
  • Insurance Costs: Homeowner’s insurance in Florida is greatly influenced by the type of roofing system used in a building. Wood-trussed tiled roofs, while aesthetically appealing, are often more expensive to insure due to their vulnerability to the region’s frequent hurricanes. The tiles can become airborne during severe weather, causing damage to the structure and surrounding properties. On the other hand, flat concrete roofs are inherently more robust and resistant to hurricane damage. Their seamless design and sturdy material make them less likely to suffer significant damage during storms, which can lower insurance premiums for homeowners.
  • Durability and Repair Costs: Wood-trussed tiled roofs require regular maintenance and are more susceptible to damage from Florida’s extreme weather conditions. The repair costs following a hurricane can be substantial, as replacing tiles and repairing the underlying structure can be labor-intensive and expensive. Conversely, flat concrete roofs are known for their durability and low maintenance requirements. The strength of concrete and the absence of individual tiles that can break away make these roofs less prone to damage and thus less likely to need frequent repairs.
  • Fire Resistance: Concrete is a non-combustible material and provides excellent fire resistance, a crucial factor in areas prone to wildfires or in dense urban environments where fires can easily spread from building to building. Trussed tiled roofs, depending on the material of the tiles, may not offer the same level of fire protection.
Utilization of Roof Space
  • Gardening: Flat concrete roofs offer an excellent opportunity for rooftop gardening. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the building but also promotes sustainability and biodiversity.
  • Solar Panels: The flat surface of concrete roofs provides an ideal base for the installation of solar panels. This can lead to significant energy savings and reduce dependence on grid electricity, contributing to a more sustainable environment.
  • Recreational Activities: The additional outdoor space provided by a flat concrete roof can be used for a variety of recreational activities, from hosting gatherings to creating a rooftop yoga studio or even a rooftop pool. This effectively increases the usable space of the property without expanding its footprint.
Cost Considerations
The cost savings of a concrete flat roof compared to a wood-trussed roof can vary greatly depending on several factors. These factors can include the size and complexity of the roof, the region in which the building is located, labor costs, and the specific materials used. Here are some general aspects to consider:
  • Initial Construction Cost: Concrete roofs can be more expensive to install initially compared to wood-trussed roofs due to the material cost and labor involved. However, the cost can be offset over time through lower maintenance and repair costs.
  • Maintenance and Repair Costs: Wood-0trussed roofs typically require more maintenance than concrete roofs, as wood can be susceptible to rot, pests, and weather-related damage. Repairing or replacing damaged components of a wood-trussed roof can add significantly to the lifetime cost of the roof.
  • Energy Efficiency: Concrete roofs can provide better insulation than wood-trussed roofs, which can lead to savings on heating and cooling costs over the lifetime of the roof.
  • Insurance Costs: As mentioned earlier, concrete roofs can often result in lower insurance premiums due to their durability and resistance to fire and severe weather, which can lead to significant savings over time.
  • Lifespan: Concrete roofs generally have a longer lifespan than wood-trussed roofs, meaning the replacement cost is deferred further into the future. This can result in significant savings when considered over the lifespan of the building.
  • Resale Value: A concrete roof can increase the resale value of a home due to its durability, low maintenance, and energy efficiency.

To get a precise cost comparison, it would be best to obtain quotes from local contractors who can take into account the specific details of the building and local material and labor costs. This will give a more accurate estimate of the potential savings.

‍While both flat concrete roofs and trussed tiled roofs have their merits, when considering factors such as insurance costs, durability, repair expenses, fire resistance, and utilization of roof space, flat concrete roofs offer substantial advantages, particularly in the context of Florida’s unique climate and weather conditions. The ability to use the roof for gardening, solar panels, and recreational activities further adds to the appeal of flat concrete roofs. As we continue to confront the challenges of climate change and urban living, the choice of roofing material has implications beyond aesthetics. It is a decision that can significantly impact a building’s resilience, sustainability, and overall cost-effectiveness. The evidence suggests that, for Florida homeowners, flat concrete roofs represent a compelling choice.

Sarasohn & Company – Public Insurance Adjusters since 1924

Sarasohn & Company – Public Insurance Adjusters since 1924

Sarasohn & Company –  Public Adjusters

561-368-5000

For four generations, the name Sarasohn has been synonymous with the highest levels of integrity and expertise in the field of insurance adjusting.

Emmanuel Sarasohn founded his public adjusting business in 1924 in Newark, NJ.  His sons, Ira and Roy, grew up in the family business and came on board full time after college and the army.

In 1951, Ira Sarasohn was one of the founding members of the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters. Ira and Roy would both later serve as president of that esteemed organization.

Ira J. Sarasohn took over the helm of Sarasohn & Company  after his father’s passing. In 1970, Stephen Sarasohn joined the firm in NJ, but he settled in Florida a few years later. In 1985, both Ira and Stephen helped found the Florida Association of Public Insurance Adjusters. After 72 years of public adjusting, Ira J. Sarasohn passed away in 2006 with many active files on his desk. In 2018, Bernard Sarasohn joined the firm as a licensed public adjuster.

Stephen Sarasohn is now CEO of Sarasohn & Company and he maintains the same high standards as his predecessors.  Sarasohn & Company, Inc. is based in Boca Raton, FL but is licensed to handle claims in other states as well.

 

Building Claims

In order to properly adjust any claim for damage to a structure, it is important to prepare a detailed repair estimate.  Sarasohn & Company will do that on your behalf.  Whenever necessary, we will employ the services of architects, engineers, contractors and other independent experts at no additional cost to you.

Full consideration is given to the provisions of your policy, as well as applicable statutes and case law, so as to maximize the recovery. This includes consideration of depreciation, coinsurance, code upgrades, deductibles and any other factors important to a successful adjustment.  Sarasohn & Company is also equipped to provide project management for the reconstruction process.  Project management is a field used in large construction projects to coordinate the various aspects of the repairs. This service is provided at no additional cost.

 

Personal Property Losses

All insurance policies require the submission of a complete inventory of both the damaged and undamaged personal property.  This includes machinery, trade fixtures, appliances, merchandise inventory, household furnishings, clothing and all other movable property insured under the policy.  This coverage also covers improvements and betterments on tenants’ policies, which can be treated several ways for claims purposes.

Sarasohn & Company has on its staff, experienced personnel who are capable of filling these requirements.   In addition to listing the property involved, our experts will calculate the replacement cost and actual cash value of each item as well as the repair cost when appropriate.  We will determine salvage value, if any, and help arrange for protection of the property from further damage, as required by the policy.  Our services can be helpful in documenting your tax loss, if any.

 

Loss of Income Claims

One of the most complex aspects of your claim involves calculating the loss of income you will suffer as a direct result of damage to real or personal property.  Sarasohn’s long term experience has helped to develop a team of forensic accountants who have proven to be outstanding in their ability to adjust claims in a way most favorable to the policyholder.  The services of CPA’s and tax attorneys are engaged when necessary, at no additional cost to you.

One of the questions that usually arise in a loss of income claim involves the continuation of payroll during the period of restoration.  It is extremely important that a method be established as soon as possible after the loss, to resolve this aspect of the claim.  Sarasohn & Company, with its years of experience will assist you with these important decisions.  Extra expense coverage can be used creatively to make up for insufficient property coverage, should that scenario exist.

 

Sarasohn & Company –
Public Insurance Adjusters since 1924

Contact Us Today for Help with your Property

 

Do you have a residential or commercial property in Florida, Georgia, Texas, North Carolina or South Carolina? The public adjusters at Sarasohn & Company are experts at maximizing your insurance claim recovery. We don’t get paid unless you do!

Most states license all insurance adjusters, whether they work for an insurance company or for the public. Adjusters working for the insurance companies are obligated to treat all claimants fairly and impartially. However, they are paid by the insurance companies for their efforts. The state recognizes that you, the policyholder, are entitled to equal representation and you may retain the services of an expert adjuster to assist in the claim process.  Sarasohn & Company can assist in preparing your claim, guiding you through the claim process and helping to achieve the most favorable settlement. In addition to numerous state licenses, Stephen Sarasohn has held the nationally recognized designation of Senior Professional Public Adjuster since 1988.

Did you know that CCTV trucks are vital tools for inspecting the condition of underground pipes?

Did you know that CCTV trucks are vital tools for inspecting the condition of underground pipes?
Equipped with high-resolution cameras mounted on crawlers, these trucks can navigate through pipelines, capturing video footage of the interior. This allows inspectors to identify problems like cracks, blockages, corrosion, or misalignment, all without having to dig up the pipes.
This non-destructive method of pipe verification is crucial for preventative maintenance, ensuring the quality of pipelines and helping to diagnose issues before they cause serious problems.
It also helps with making sure the pipes are clear so they dont block up or prevent drainage of your properties parking lots and Loading Docks.  Setting up a plan for cleaning and Maintenance is important, especially with the Florida Storms.
