The Endorsement insures: (1) that the land abuts a named Street, (2) that the Street is physically open and publicly maintained, (3) that the land has actual pedestrian and vehicular access, and (4) that the insured has a right to use existing curb cuts along the abutting Street. NM 13.14.8.25.
Underwriting Requirements:
We require the following:
- Verify by examination and review of survey that the land abuts the Street.
- Verify by review of survey that the Street appears to be physically open and publicly maintained.
- Verify by review of survey that existing curb cuts provide actual access for the land to the Street.
