Which cost would be excluded under BOP due to ordinance requirements?

• A. The cost of upgrades due to local ordinances
• B. The cost of new equipment
• C. The cost of business interruption
• D. The cost of replacing damaged inventory

Answer: (B)

Ordinance or Law exclusions apply to the extra costs you incur to bring a building up to current codes when you repair or replace it after a loss. In a standard BOP, those increased costs to comply with local ordinances aren’t covered unless you add Ordinance or Law coverage. So the cost that would be excluded due to ordinance requirements is the cost of upgrades needed to meet local building codes. Other costs, like buying new equipment, business interruption (if caused by a covered loss), or replacing damaged inventory, are not excluded by this rule and may be covered under the policy's property or income protections, subject to limits and conditions.
