Downtown Saw Mill River commercial flood loss
Managing this file requires coordinating rapid acknowledgment with strict New York proof of loss deadlines.
A late-winter Nor’easter drops several inches of rain over Westchester County, causing the Saw Mill River to overtop its banks. The floodwaters damage the ground floor of a newly renovated commercial space adjacent to the daylighted river section in downtown Yonkers.
The handling adjuster must issue a large-loss acknowledgment and strict status updates under 11 NYCRR 216.6. Voltaire surfaces the necessary policy provisions and proof of loss deadlines, allowing the adjuster to quickly verify the draft before routing it to a supervisor for final approval.

How frequently must insurers send status updates for ongoing claims in New York?
Under 11 NYCRR 216.6(c), insurers must send status updates every 90 calendar days setting forth the specific reasons additional time is needed.
