"Dear Stu,
With your help you saved us over a $1000.
We couldn’t believe you even got us flood protection in the huge savings. Thank you again."
-Mr & Mrs. P.
Mr. and Mrs. P came to CBO owning a 2 family brick home on Avenue J. They were paying over $2605 a year with Travelers and were unhappy with that high of a payment. When Stu heard about this, he knew he could do better. So he worked hard for them and managed to write them a new policy at $1160 a year including flood protection! Needless to say, Mr. and Mrs. P are extremely happy with their new coverage and look forward to continuing work with CBO.

Stuart Cohen of City Building Owners was offered a co-chair to the 9th annual golf classic by the New York Urban League due to his outstanding service as a building insurance broker. Unfortunately he had to decline the offer, because the handicap he requires would be far too embarrassing.
The League’s Golf Classic is now entering its 9th year! The Golf classic is critical in funding where the proceeds go to the New York Urban League’s mission to continue service of more than 50,00 residents of New York.

Hi Mr. Cohen:
First of all, I would like to thank you very much for returning my phone call so promptly. I know you are busy man who gets pulled in every direction. As a long time customer, I have never had the kind of service from an insurance agency, as I have from your personnel. They are industrious, knowledgeable and have gone far above any expectation someone would have, all in a professional and congenial manner. There aren’t enough superlatives to adequately describe your office and the people who work there. I thank you for your time. God
bless.

New York City Sidewalk Liability Exposure
In 2003 Mayor Bloomberg enacted two laws making a property owner abutting a New York City sidewalk responsible to maintain that sidewalk. Such maintenance includes the responsibility to construct, reconstruct, repave or repair the sidewalk, and to remove snow, ice, dirt or other material from the sidewalk. The property owner is liable for any injury or death resulting from the failure to
maintain such sidewalk.
Items that must be repaired/replaced include:
Lifted/uneven sidewalks, holes in sidewalks, extensive cracking or cracks that create an uneven surface or holes, flower boxes around trees must be in good repair and flush to the sidewalk if possible; the removal of ice, snow, dirt or other material from the sidewalk as often as needed to keep the sidewalk clear of any hazards.
The City is exempt from liability for any injury or death arising out of a property owner’s failure to maintain the sidewalk, except for instances involving exempt property (1-3 family owner occupied residential dwellings).
