We used to contact the building owner and do whatever they say. Sometimes they would have a management firm handle everything. Sometimes they didn’t care and just said do whatever you like.
Probably somewhat reckless, but I didn’t care either way as long as the owner was on board.

This would happen because the tenant would call the building owner for the key for the roof hatch or somesuch on the day of the install. We have made it standard practice now that whenever we do an install on a commercial building, we get all the COI information before hand so that it's all set when the install is scheduled. However, now the last several that we've done, It's been like pulling teeth to get the additional insured information, even at large property management firms. It's like they've never even heard of a COI or Additional insured before. Do they call it something different now? How do you handle the COI, only provide it when requested, Charge for failed install time, or require direct contact with the landlord before install?
