Condominium claims have a second boundary that single-family claims do not: the line between the unit owner’s policy and the association’s master policy. This letter puts the drywall on the association’s side of it.
Where that line falls is a question of the declaration and the master policy, not of the adjuster’s view. Florida’s condominium statute allocates responsibility between association and unit owner, and the association’s own governing documents can modify the default. Drywall is the classic contested item, because different declarations put the interior surface, the studs, or everything inward of the unfinished wall on different sides.
The practical trap is being told by two carriers that the other one pays. A unit owner holding this letter should get the association’s declaration page and the relevant article of the declaration, and read them together with this letter, because $1,753.87 was paid and the disputed interior work was not.
Florida DFS Civil Remedy Notice, filing no. 652558, accepted 10/24/2022, Deerfield Beach. The filing is not the letter: the passage below is the denial letter's own language as the policyholder quoted it, where the insurer paid damages in the amount of $1,753.87 and noted this in its coverage determination letter. · public record ↗
