...for now, anyway
Last night the sprinkler system in our newly remodeled loft malfunctioned, dumping thousands of gallons of water all over our space, ruining 15-20k in recording/production equipment, thousands of records, and all Dimmak/Boiler Room merchandise...when I heard, I said "so, this is what I've been paying all that rental insurance for!"
Then, I called my insurance agent (Youkie Laney) to inform her of the situation, and was told that one of her secretaries supposedly called me a month ago and that I verbally cancelled my policy. (which is odd, because you'd think I'd remember cancelling a 1/4 million dollars in coverage that I'm cantractually obligated to hold by the building owners)...after hours on the phone with the Insurance Commissioners Board, the BBB, and the State Attorney General's office, I'm still not sure if we have any recourse...I've asked for specific dates and times for the supposed conversation that I requested to cancel my policy, so that I can match them with my phone records, but so far haven't been able to get them from Youkie.
All in all, after investing thousands into the remodel, and suspending paying sessions for four months to do so, we just don't have the 30k it would take to rebuild/re-purchase equipment...the Boiler Room will rise again, without a doubt, but not any time in the near future.
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that our external harddrives weren't damaged, or the Seattle Music History Project and Dimmak's best work to date are all lost...
Thanks to everyone who's been involved in making the Boiler Room one of Seattle's most consistant hip hop studios...we'll see you when we see you.

Oh yeah, a lawyers a given... And, while I CANNOT support the Benefit Insurance Company Massacre idea... FUCK Youkie Laney, she's a unethical piece of human garbage.
We still doin' our thing though, the Boiler Room has been on the back burner of our business model for the last year or so anyways... this place was just temporary, and the plan has been to expand to be a "real" studio in a couple years, not just a hip hop studio, and I guess this just means that we won't have ANY studio until then... lame, but fuck it, it is what it is... we have other business' to focus on until then... you wanna help us out...light em up! www.myspace.com/KillVillain - www.SeattleBoilerRoom.com - www.myspace.com/DIMMAK - www.oldominion.net/DIMMAK -

this is so sad to hear, ez. i know how hard you've all worked to make that studio as dope as possible. as far as recourse regarding the faulty ass insurance agent, taking it to the local media wouldn't hurt. it would definitely make a good story AND insurance agencies are notorious to caving under pressure, especially when bad press is involved.And now more dangerous & flavorful! -

here's what my girl sez:[concrete's girlThat totally sucks that happened.
Okay first of all an insurance company would never call and give verbal cancellation over the phone. Legal documentation would be mailed to the named insured on the policy. Even if a policy was cancelled due to a situation of non payment, etc.. They would have been informed with some sort of legal documentation never verbally.
Secondly, he should be able to prove his policy was in force at time of loss... Does he make a monthly insurance payment? Or did he pay the premium up front? He should find records of payment for insurance to prove policy is active.
Also if his agent was aware that the building that he was leasing space from was a sprinklered building, then his agent should have offered him sprinkler leakage coverage.
My suggestion is for him to call the insurance carrier directly and speak to the claims department. They will have record of his policy. He should also have some documentation for his insurance policy as well. The claims department will know if the policy was in force or not.

If y'all really want to make her pay her karmic debts, just let all your people know that the Boiler Room is currently closed because of Youkie Laney and State Farm's shady business practices...SPREAD THE WORD! There are alot of insurance agents in Seattle, shop around!
