Homes in Jamaica (11432, 11433, 11435)
Jamaica is one of the busiest parts of Queens, from the downtown core around Jamaica Center and Sutphin Boulevard to blocks of 1- and 2-family houses and small multi-family buildings. Newer condo buildings have gone up near the transit hub, while many older houses are owner-occupied with rental units. We place each type with the carriers that suit it.
What a Jamaica homeowners policy covers
A standard homeowners policy (HO-3) bundles several coverages into one. We walk you through each limit before you buy.
Dwelling
The structure of your home, including roof, walls, floors and built-in systems, against fire, wind, hail, theft and other covered causes.
Other structures
Detached garages, sheds and fences, usually up to 10% of your dwelling limit.
Personal property
Furniture, clothing, electronics and other belongings, at home or away.
Loss of use
Hotel, rent and extra living costs if your home can’t be lived in after a covered loss.
Personal liability
Legal and medical costs if someone is hurt on your property or you accidentally damage someone else’s property.
Medical payments
Small medical bills for guests injured at your home, regardless of fault.
Coverage to think about in Jamaica
Landlord properties
3–4 family and non-owner-occupied homes need the right policy form. A dwelling fire (DP-3) policy is common for rentals.
Vacant units
Many policies limit coverage when a unit sits empty for more than 60 days. Tell us before it happens.
Newer condos
HO-6 coverage set to what your condo association’s master policy leaves out.
Tenant and visitor liability
Higher limits or an umbrella policy for owners of rental units.
Broker tip: If any unit will sit empty for more than 60 days, let us know. Many policies limit coverage for vacant property, and the fix is easy if we know in advance.

Homeowners insurance questions from Jamaica
I don’t live in my Jamaica house and rent all the units. Can I get homeowners insurance?
Not a homeowners policy. A non-owner-occupied rental needs a landlord or dwelling fire (DP-3) policy, which covers the building, your liability and optional lost rent.
Does my homeowners policy cover my tenant’s belongings?
No. Your policy covers the building and your own property. Tenants should carry renters (HO-4) insurance, and many landlords require it in the lease.
Which Jamaica ZIP codes do you cover?
We insure homes in 11432, 11433, 11434, 11435 and 11436, covering Jamaica and South Jamaica, plus the rest of Queens and New York State.
Can I insure a home that’s being renovated?
Yes, but it may need a different policy or an endorsement while work is going on. Tell us the scope and timing and we’ll find a carrier that covers it.
How much is homeowners insurance in Jamaica?
It depends on the age and construction of the house, rebuild cost, number of families, the age of the roof and systems, claims history, flood and coastal exposure, and the deductible you choose. Because we compare several carriers, we can usually show you more than one price for the same coverage. Call (347) 817-7771 or use our home insurance form for an exact quote.
What’s the difference between an HO-3 and an HO-5 policy?
Both cover your house against all causes of loss except those the policy excludes. An HO-5 also covers your belongings that broadly, usually at replacement cost, so it’s wider coverage and costs more. Not every carrier offers HO-5 on every home.
Does homeowners insurance cover flooding?
No. Flood from surface water is excluded from standard homeowners policies. It’s a separate policy through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or a private flood carrier, and we can quote it alongside your home.
