Mercantile / Warehouse / LRO Field Inspection Worksheet

Field worksheet for multi-tenant mercantile buildings, warehouses and lessor’s risk, documenting occupants, construction, protection and premises conditions.

Building / Risk Information

Underwriting Focus — COPE and building class

Record actual wall, floor and roof construction; do not infer ISO class from exterior paint or façade. Confirm the insured’s property interest and responsibility for common areas.

Tenants / Units / Occupancy

Underwriting Focus — Accurate tenant listing

A generic “warehouse” does not tell underwriting what is stored or performed. List each tenant’s operations; flag auto repair, restaurant, manufacturing, paint, hot work, combustibles and large storage accumulations.

Fire / Life Safety / Tenant Controls

Underwriting Focus — High-hazard tenants and cooking

If a tenant cooks with grease-producing commercial appliances, photograph the hood cleaning, suppression and Class K tags separately and obtain each date. Note restricted tenant access rather than guessing.

Exterior / Utilities / Liability / Losses

Underwriting Focus — LRO and shared exposures

For a landlord-only exposure, verify which areas are controlled by landlord vs occupants. Inspect customer routes, common areas, rear delivery hazards and visible fire-service access.
