A borrower's company, organization, partnership, etc., can be very successful and structured in a way that makes the borrower suitable for a commercial/multifamily mortgage deal. However, without the proper insurance coverage, unforeseen losses can seriously impact the property value and lender investment. Therefore, the loan documents require that the borrower maintain standard and more specific insurance coverage based on the nature of the business, location, and property type tied to the security. The servicer is responsible for determining whether the insurance coverage in place is in compliance with the requirements set by the lender. Additionally, the servicer is responsible for maintaining certain required corporate coverage.
