Flood

FEMA maps place 901 Broadway in Zone X, an area of minimal flood risk, though there have been 2 flood claims nearby since 1978.

Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, effective September 10, 2026 · OpenFEMA NFIP redacted claims and policies, as of September 2026

Flood Insurance Requirement	Not required lenders may require it
Nearby Flood Policies	2 units insured incl. 2 condo units
Nearby Flood Claims	2 (1978)
Most Recent Claim	Feb 1978 · tidal / storm surge

Values are read at the parcel center point; flood claims are located to the census block group, not this parcel; lenders make the official flood determination.

Wildfire

The area around 901 Broadway has no burnable land within ember reach, so its wildfire risk is not rated.

Wildfire Risk	Not rated no burnable land within ember reach

Values cover an area roughly 900 ft across, not the parcel itself; insurers use their own ratings.
