What underwriters ask about Hudson County work
Hudson County is vertical construction on tight urban sites: waterfront and Journal Square towers, podium mid-rise across Bayonne and the Heights, brownstone and condo rehab in Hoboken and downtown Jersey City, and warehouse and logistics work in Secaucus.
- High-rise means high limits and wrap-ups — Tower work commonly requires $2M/$4M General Liability with $10M+ excess, and many projects run under an OCIP or CCIP wrap. A wrap covers that project only — usually not your off-site work and often not your completed-operations tail.
- Tight sites produce third-party damage claims — Adjacent-property damage, water infiltration into occupied units and sidewalk-shed incidents are the real Hudson County loss drivers, not catastrophic injuries.
- Condo and co-op rehab has a long tail — New Jersey's 10-year statute of repose means a Hoboken brownstone rehab can generate a defect claim a decade later. Completed operations must stay in force.
- Parking and garaging drive auto costs — Where your trucks sleep matters. Hudson garaging is among the most expensive in the state for Commercial Auto and job-site tool theft.
