✅A home by any other name (condo of townhome)?

Definition of condo ||| https://bit.ly/3DYhYe0 : CONDOMINIUM sense 3: such as a: a unit in a multiunit structure (such as an apartment building) or on land owned in common (such as a town house complex) Definition of townhome ||| https://bit.ly/3DYhYe0 US : a house that has two or three levels and that is attached to a similar house by a shared wall : TOWN HOUSE sense 1 Thanks to the source, these definitions are circular and almost identical, right? Clarity of these definitions has become a burning question in the neighborhood of Cobblestone Canyon, Trilogy Glen Ivy, a 170-homeowner enclave with a larger 1317-homeowner association (HOA) in the central Temescal Valley, south of Corona 92883 and east of the sprawling, rugged wilderness of the Cleveland National Forest. It is that forest area, and risk of wildfires, that prompted the redefinition of these dwellings from condos to townhomes.  In November 2021, homeowners were notified of the cancelation of their collective fire insuranc

✅ What makes CA homeowners so apathetic about EQI?

COBBLESTONE CANYON ★ https://trilopedia.blogspot.com ★ * TRILOPEDIA ® is designed, in a way, after the popular site WIKIPEDIA, but dedicated to education and information about a specific community, Trilogy Glen Ivy (TGI) and Cobblestone Canyon, the condominium section within TGI.  Trilogy Glen Ivy is a 1317-unit homeowner association (HOA) in the Temescal Valley of Southern California 92883.  This archive is a site created by and for members of the Cobblestone Disaster Recovery Committee who are introduced in the content below. The site is maintained by the this group separate from the TGMA Board and management, but the group was and is chartered by TGMA. Cobblestone Canyon (CID) is a condominium community, subdivision of Trilogy Glen Ivy (TGI), a homeowner association (HOA) in the Temescal Valley of Southern California. Cobblestone is one of six neighborhoods within TGI, aka the TGMA, or Trilogy GlenIvy Maintenance Association. The community is off of Interstate 15 about halfway

✅ What is the most common homeowner insurance policy for condos and its drawbacks?

When you change the way you find things, the things you find change Property Insurance Risk Recovery SEARCH ▶ TRILOPEDIA.COM This site is primarily a SEARCH and archive tool for Trilogy Glen Ivy, Cobblestone Canyon to provide details about the disaster recovery issue. Use the search pages to find any related topic. Speaking for COVERAGE.com   What does the standard HO-6 policy cover? Why is not basic EQI included in HO-6? Lenders require liability coverage, why not EQI?   What is the most common homeowner insurance policy for condos and its drawbacks?   ▶ Common-interest development (CID) is the fastest growing form of housing in the world today. They include condominiums, community apartments, planned developments, and stock cooperatives. The ownership benefits of a CID are having rights to an undivided interest in common areas and amenities which might prove to be too expensive to be solely owned. But those who buy into CIDs soon learn the depth andd breadth of what they have in co

✅ CEA EQI policies have these limits for condos

  What about the $100K maximum building coverage? What are the deductible choices? How is the deductible factored with a claim?   CEA EQI policies have these limits for condos  ▶ Any condo owner who visits the California Earthquake Authority quotation request page for earthquake coverage learns that the maximum value for condo EQI is $100,000.  Currently, that is less than one-third of the typical resale value of a smaller downstairs Cobblestone condo as of year-end 2020.  That may be a problem.  Although, given the rule that it may take 50% of the typical home value to reconstruct the unit, the CEA limits may not be out-of-bounds.  One thinks, however, that the arbitrary limits on condos may have something to do with risk management by the CEA. CEA EQI policies have these limits for condos COVERAGE OPTIONS FOR HOMEOWNERS CEA earthquake insurance for homeowners allows you to choose between two policies: purchase all of your coverages together under one deductible, or choose to have se

✅ For future disaster (if such happens) how will TGMA manage the reduilding, repair, or reconstruction issues?

Image
  Will a major quake in the Temescal Valley create long delays in the arrival of assistance and recovery? May condo owners simply clear and clean their lots? What about the upstairs/downstairs choices? For future disaster (if such happens) how will TGMA manage trebuilding, repair, or reconstruction?  ▶ This question prompted the research and retention by TGMA of the former HARBRO Emergency Services & Restoration, recently merged with a company known as BluSky that provides commercial, industrial, governmental, residential, and multifamily restoration, renovation, environmental, and roofing services across the United States and Puerto Rico. With an emphasis on large projects, BluSky does not build things; but restores and rebuilds them. BluSky engaged employees bring experience and teamwork to anyone who owns or manages property, provides property insurance, or manages property insurance claims. Essentially, the first step by management after a disaster in the community is to check

✅ What does the “PHASES” designation of the CONDOS mean for the disaster recovery issue?

Image
  Is the “PHASES” designation of Cobblestone a method to limit risk to individual owners? For disaster recovery alone, are “PHASES” a plus or minus? Should Cobblestone vote to eliminate the “PHASES”?   The ‘phases’ designation of the condos  ▶ TGMA legal counsel informed TGMA and the Cobblestone Disaster Recovery Committee that the designation of the FIVE (5) PHASES is still in force because these had not been merged or eliminated by the developer, Shea Homes, when Cobblestone Canyon was completed and control passed to the homeowners association, TGMA. This merger of the Cobblestone Phases still is not done today, as of the writing and distribution of this document. In other words, these FIVE (5) PHASES will dictate how and when recovery management will occur. The “phases” designation of the condos AS AN EXAMPLE, if any damage (no matter how major) occurs to the common interest (exterior areas) of one or more units in PHASE 21 (approximately 42 units in each PHASE), then the obligatio

NORTHRIDGE STORY   How has the threat of a large, Northridge-type quake made Californians more favorable to EQI? What percentage of CA condo owners have EQI? What percentage of CA HOA owners have EQI? Does the date  January 17, 1994 still ring a bell today, why? ▶ This question prompted the research and retention by TGMA of the former HARBRO Emergency Services & Restoration, recently merged with a company known as BluSky that provides commercial, industrial, governmental, residential, and multifamily restoration, renovation, environmental, and roofing services across the United States and Puerto Rico. With an emphasis on large projects, BluSky does not build things; but restores and rebuilds them. BluSky engaged employees bring experience and teamwork to anyone who owns or manages property, provides property insurance, or manages property insurance claims. There are no guarantees of safety during earthquakes, but properly constructed and strengthened homes are far less likely to

✅ What about the MOTUS EQI offerings?

  Some Questions   Is it true: Only one CA EQI product treats HOAs as commercial entities? Will other companies follow this lead? What is the advantage of this for HOAs? What about the MOTUS EQI offerings? ▶ After seeing the trouble that California condo associations and owners faced, Motus Insurance Services brought together a team of the state’s most respected earthquake insurers and condo insurance specialists to create the Motus Opt-in Master Earthquake Program. This new direct-to-consumer earthquake insurance program allows all condo owners to fully protect their homes from earthquake damage while taking advantage of the same great rates available for master earthquake insurance policies. Motus is able to bring this solution to consumers because it worked with the California Department of Insurance to remove the barriers that prevented individual owners from buying into the same insurance coverage available to homeowners’ associations, which offers far more comprehensive coverage
