I believe that would be a potential 'insured' that the company the quote was requested from will refuse to insure...for some reason...it would help if you would give more information, as it 'could' be a few other things...as example : who told you this? based on what?

Like Lori said, it really depends. Are you talking a commercial property or a dwelling. When an inspection of your property is made, everything that is wrong with it is recorded in regards to both property exposures and liability exposures. One here or one there doesn’t usually send up a red flag, but if there are numerous exposures they can add up to make the risk unsatisfactory. However if there is one large maintenance issue (roof that should have been replaced 10 year ago, knob and tube wiring, unlisted fire suppression system for commercial cooking or structural damage to building) that is all it could take to make it unsatisfactory. Let’s say you have chipped paint, debris (junk/trash) in your yard or up against the structure, a broken sidewalk, or non-serviced fire extinguishers. Now any of these by themselves may not be enough, but you add them up and they would make the risk unsatisfactory.

I would think that the insurance company would list someone an unsatisfatory risk if they looked at past claims, age, location..lots of things...I guess it would really have to depend on what exactly the poster is stating.

If you hear the term unsatisfactory risk, it is normally accompanied by "we're sorry, you've been declined for coverage!"

Thats what I was thinking. Usually it is the reason they give you when not insuring you.

Either that or they give you "x" amount of time to make repairs or fix the hazard.
