Homeowners Insurance Claims in the Town of Oyster Bay
The Town of Oyster Bay is the only Nassau town that runs from Long Island Sound to the Great South Bay. Its North Shore has the Gold Coast estates of the Brookvilles, Muttontown and Mill Neck; its center holds the busy suburbs of Hicksville, Syosset, Plainview and Bethpage; and its southern edge includes the canal neighborhoods of Massapequa.
Expect everything from 1950s ranches and split-levels in Hicksville, Plainview and Bethpage to waterfront cottages in Bayville, Victorian homes in Sea Cliff and estate properties with outbuildings and long private driveways on the North Shore.
Local Risks That Shape Oyster Bay Claims
Superstorm Sandy flooded both shores at once, from Bayville and Centre Island on the Sound to the Massapequa canals on the South Shore, and later storms have repeatedly flooded Bayville Avenue. Claims here often stall on causation, on how the flood and windstorm parts of a loss are split, and on depreciation that leaves Oyster Bay homeowners short of the real repair cost.
