True or False: BPI MS HCA is for Residential Occupancies only and mixed-usage properties are not covered.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Applicable
• D. Not Stated

Answer: (A)

The HCA assessment under BPI MS is focused on dwellings where people live. It’s built to evaluate residential occupancies—homes and similar living spaces—for conditions that affect safety, structure, and livability. Because mixed-use properties combine residential space with non-residential uses (like commercial areas or offices), they bring different risks and building features that the HCA framework isn’t designed to fully cover. In those cases, insurers typically require a broader evaluation or additional endorsements that address the non-residential components. So, the statement that it’s for residential occupancies only and does not cover mixed-usage properties is true.
