Stafford Assistant City Solicitor RWS/dlg Enclosure - RE: CHAPTER 804 of the Acts of 1977 ; an Act regulating the disbursement o£ insurance proceeds; notice to and payment to cities and towns. DATE . . January 10, 1978 in keeping with our practice of notifying our clients of especially far reaching cases and statutes, we wanted to make you aware of the captioned Act which has been widely discussed as a proposal, but the recent actual passage of which has been given very little notice. The Act. is apparently designed both to limit the profit es motive in certain types of arson cases and to protect' citi and towns against owners of substantially damaged property .. who take their insurance proceeds and run, leaving the city or town with an eyesore and safety hazard. The Act is in four sections and relates to essentially two separate types of situations for which it provides loss payment procedure. Notice to Municipalities of Building Loss Over $1 , 000 . Section 1 of the Act amends Mass. Gen . Laws , Ch. 139 (relating to nuisances such as burned out buildings , etc. ) by adding a Section 3B which provides that no insurer shall pay any -. . claim covering loss, damage or destruction to a building which (1) amounts to $1,000 or more or (2) renders the building unsafe, dangerous or in need of securing, without first giving ten days notice to 'the Building Commissioner or Inspector of Buildings and the Board of Health or Board of Selectmen in the city or town where the property is located. In most cases that would be the end of the insurer ' s obliga- tion, but the Act also provides that the city or town may, within the ten days , notify the insurer by Certified *Sail . of its intent to initiate proceedings to perfect a lien on the proceeds, in which case the payment may not be made while the proceedings are pending. Such a lien if obtained may be collected from the proceeds due to the insured, should then be owner or mortgagee . Payment of .the loss j. ©UflK4.
