Picture Perfect Mounting provides COIs for NYC buildings as a standard part of our service \u2014 and we can get it done within <strong>1\u20132 business days<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We do this every week. Whether you live in a co-op on the Upper East Side, a condo in Tribeca, or a luxury rental in Hudson Yards, we know exactly what your building needs and how to get it to them fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is a Certificate of Insurance \u2014 and Why Does Your Building Require One?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Certificate of Insurance (COI) is a document issued by an insurance company that proves a contractor carries active liability coverage. NYC buildings \u2014 particularly co-ops, condominiums, luxury rentals, and doorman buildings \u2014 require contractors to provide a COI before performing any work inside the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This protects the building, its residents, and the management company if anything were to go wrong during the job. It&#8217;s standard practice across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the rest of the five boroughs, and it&#8217;s something your building&#8217;s management office or super will ask for before they give us access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many residents are surprised to find out their contractor doesn&#8217;t have insurance \u2014 or can&#8217;t produce the documentation in time. That&#8217;s not a problem you&#8217;ll have with PPM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Picture Perfect Mounting Provides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We carry two policies that together satisfy virtually every NYC building&#8217;s COI requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>General Liability Insurance<\/strong> \u2014 Issued through <strong>biBerk<\/strong> (Policy #N9BP862399). This covers property damage and bodily injury arising from our work. Most buildings require $1 million per occurrence \/ $2 million aggregate, which our policy meets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Workers&#8217; Compensation Insurance<\/strong> \u2014 Issued through <strong>NYSIF<\/strong>, the New York State Insurance Fund (Policy #26542498). This is required by New York State law for any contractor with employees performing work in NYC buildings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both certificates can be sent directly to your building management office or super, typically within 1\u20132 business days of your request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What NYC Buildings Typically Ask For<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Building requirements vary, but here&#8217;s what most NYC co-ops, condos, and rental buildings ask for when they require a COI for NYC contractor work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>General liability coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Workers&#8217; compensation coverage meeting New York State requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The building&#8217;s management company, co-op board, or LLC listed as an <strong>additional insured<\/strong> on the general liability certificate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A description of the work being performed (e.g., &#8220;picture hanging and TV mounting&#8221;)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The certificate holder&#8217;s name and address (your building&#8217;s management company)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you request a COI from us, just send along whatever instructions your building gave you \u2014 the management company name, address, and any specific language they require \u2014 and we&#8217;ll handle the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How It Works: From Booking to COI in Hand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process is simple and handled entirely on our end:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Book your appointment<\/strong> at <a href=\"https:\/\/pictureperfectmounting.com\/book\">pictureperfectmounting.com\/book<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Send us your building&#8217;s COI requirements<\/strong> \u2014 email the management&#8217;s instructions or certificate holder info to us after booking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>We submit everything to our insurance carrier<\/strong> \u2014 we request the certificate, add your building as additional insured, and include any specific endorsement language required<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The COI is sent to your building<\/strong> \u2014 typically within 1\u20132 business days, directly from our insurer, or emailed to you to forward on<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You&#8217;re cleared \u2014 we show up and get to work<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ve done this hundreds of times across NYC&#8217;s most particular buildings.
