§ 1-804.   Transfer of Insurance Proceeds to Borough.
When the loss agreed to between the named insured and the insurance company, association or exchange equals or exceeds 60% of the aggregate limits of liability on all fire policies covering the building or other structure, the insurance company, association or exchange shall transfer from the insurance proceeds to the Treasurer in the aggregate $2,000 for each $15,000 and each fraction of that amount of a claim, or if at the time of a loss report the named insured has submitted a contractor's signed estimate of the costs of removing, repairing or securing the building or other structure in an amount less than the amount calculated under the foregoing transfer formula, the insurance company, association or exchange shall transfer from the insurance proceeds the amount specified in the estimate. The transfer of proceeds shall be on a pro rata basis by all insurance companies, associations or exchanges insuring the building or other structure. Policy proceeds remaining after the transfer to the Borough shall be disbursed in accordance with the policy terms. The named insured may submit a contractor's signed estimate of the costs of removing, repairing or securing the building or other structure after the transfer, and the Treasurer shall return the amount of the fund in excess of the estimate to the named insured if the Borough has not commenced to remove, repair or secure the building or other structure.
