Never had a call from Our company. My neighbor did when he was shopping around for a new carrier and they (new carrier) did an inspection and told him he had to upgrade his electric (all k and t) or lose his insurance in a month. But otherwise never heard of that. We’ve even had claims folks come out when we had to actually use the insurance and they didn’t “redo” an inspection.

But hey there’s always a first time. Maybe the company is getting bought out and they are doing this as part of that? Or it’s a scam.

More housing is good. And those who are going to complain about but "this luxury housing and this is not going to get Rhode Islanders in". Oh yeah? Well now the Superman building apartments have to compete with this. Sorry but cry is free.

Definitely sounds questionable, I think a lot of insurance companies close at 8pm EST so try to give them a call. I know that several cities are also doing a value assessment but haven't heard of insurance doing insurance re-assessments.

He's never had the option to buy until the project was fully approved. A legal battle over zoning was started like 5 years ago and took until last Summer to be resolved. It's worth noting that suit was financed by competing property owners.

By that point, yes, a fuckton has changed about the cost of literally everything, so they went for a redesign that still needs formal approval before the sale happens.

At no point has there ever been a point where construction could have started and there's really nothing to suggest funding the project is a hurdle beyond the developer not wanting to go above the 300ish million price tag.

>If your attitude is "we have to take what we can get" you end up with a lot of shit.

And if your attitude is “our way or nothing at all” you get Providence. The difference is that reasonable people can disagree on what’s shit, but nothing is the same to everyone.

Insurance did an outside inspection when I bought my house, but never after. If you didn't change companies I would call your insurance company to confirm it's legit, then ask them to confirm the inspectors name. Could easily be a scam or something.
