Insurance companies dropping people without clear instructions or notice on how to become compliant is sort of wild. I can see how having a big pile of tires wouldnt be great. But what is “debris”? That could be anything.

Yep. This is something we've been working to address at my startup (https://wuuii.com/). We build software for doing these kinds of inspections. Getting property owners to take action is one of the critical steps in the process, but communicating clearly what needs to be done is something we focus on. We use a combination of aerial imagery and on the ground inspection to identify all of the issues and make specific mitigation recommendations.


Insurance is all about risk and when you are not uniform with the baseline then you become a risk. Whatever debris is doesn't really matter. It's that there is debris and that's what increases the insurance risk.


Yes but it's clear they are going too far


Instructions could be somewhere in the fine print
