1. Commencing not later than the time of the first conveyance of a unit to a person other than a declarant, and unless the declaration states otherwise, the association shall maintain, to the extent reasonably available and subject to reasonable deductibles:

(a) Property insurance on the common elements insuring against all risks of direct physical loss commonly insured against in an amount specified in the declaration.

(b) Commercial general liability insurance on the common elements, including insurance for medical payments, in an amount determined by the executive board but not less than any amount specified in the declaration, covering all occurrences commonly insured against for death, bodily injury and property damage arising out of or in connection with the use, ownership, or maintenance of the common elements.

(c) Crime insurance which includes coverage for dishonest acts by members of the executive board and the officers, employees, agents, directors and volunteers of the association and which extends coverage to any business entity that acts as the community manager of the association and the employees of that entity. Such insurance may not contain a conviction requirement, and the minimum amount of the policy must be not less than an amount equal to 3 months of aggregate assessments on all units plus reserve funds or $5,000,000, whichever is less.

2. Commencing not later than the time of the first conveyance of a residential unit to a person other than the declarant, and unless the declaration states otherwise, the hotel unit owner shall maintain, to the extent reasonably available, the following:

(a) Property and casualty insurance on the residential units, hotel unit and shared components insuring against all risks of direct physical loss commonly insured against in an amount specified in the declaration. An insurance policy issued to the hotel unit owner does not prevent a unit’s owner from obtaining insurance for his or her own benefit.

(b) Liability insurance on the residential units, hotel unit and shared components, including insurance for medical payments, in an amount set forth in the declaration, covering all occurrences commonly insured against for death, bodily injury and property damage arising out of or in connection with the use, ownership, or maintenance of the residential units, shared components or the hotel unit.
