Building Ordinance Coverage pays for enforcement actions requiring demolition of which portions?

• A. Undamaged portions of buildings
• B. Only the damaged portions
• C. Area outside the building
• D. All interior finishes

Answer: (A)

Building Ordinance Coverage is about the extra costs you incur when public authorities require you to rebuild to current codes or remove parts of the structure as a condition of rebuilding. The key point is that these code-enforcement actions can require demolishing portions of the building that were not damaged by the loss. So the coverage pays for demolishing those undamaged portions to meet the current code when you reconstruct. That’s why the option reflecting demolition of undamaged portions fits best. The other ideas aren’t what this coverage is about: it isn’t limited to demolishing only the damaged areas, it doesn’t specifically target areas outside the building, and it doesn’t automatically apply to all interior finishes unless those finishes must be removed to comply with the code.
