Problems Getting Homeowner's Insurance

Subject: Problems Getting Homeowner's Insurance

I'm the owner of an old frame row-house in Sunset Park (not brick or brownstone). I've never made an insurance claim during my 9+years here, and the house is in good repair, in a decent part of town. But this year I've had a TERRIBLE time getting homeowner's insurance. My previous company refused to renew due to "global warming." Others I've signed up for have canceled after a month or quoted 50% higher fees than the original quote, because they say they are no longer insuring homes constructed before 1980 or some other such nonsense. Are other area homeowners having similar problems with insurance renewals this year? Has anyone found a company that has a friendlier attitude toward the neighborhood and its old houses? I'm actually starting to feel kind of desperate.
