In my previous entries we talked about how look, the noise in the neighborhood, the maintenance, amenities, and records of the building should be considered whe you are buying real estate in New York, specifically with brownstone buildings. Now, let's see why inspection and insurance are two important factors when investing.
6. Carry out a Brownstone Specific Inspection
Unlike a lot of houses, brownstones are understood to have unique issues such as termites and even lead paint. Before you finalize the sale of the building, it is recommended that ensure that it passes evaluation. Make sure that it is certified by a licensed inspector which with it comes an evaluation report. This shows that the building is in good condition structurally.
Throughout the assessment, the inspector will inspect to see that the beams of the building are intact, there is a proper drainage system and that the boiler and the heating system are updated. A building that has a gas boiler as opposed to an oil boiler. This is because a gas boiler is cheaper, more secure and cleaner thus a perfect option. They will likewise check to see that the roof and floors are intact and not drooping. If they are, repairs will be recommended right away.

7. Insurance coverage
Unlike most buildings, insurance companies do not cover the repair costs of the buildings initial functions in case of destruction after storms or other natural calamities. These consist of; crown molding. However, there are policies that cover such features but they are expensive, approximately 40% more.
