New York home buyers now have the right to know a property’s flood history and risk. 

Last month, a new law went into effect which requires sellers to disclose to potential buyers any flood issues with their home, such as flood hazard areas, any flood damage, and if flood insurance is required on the property.

Tim Bruno spoke with the NRDC’S Joel Scata, Senior Attorney, Environmental Health, about the new law on Radio Chatskill.
