NOTE: Only properties can be submitted to the Property NFIP Method

The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) premiums are the cost of flood insurance for coverage of the building and the contents in the building based on the current NFIP insurance rate tables. There are two hypothetical insurance premiums for coverage of the structure and contents at $250k/$125k and $125k/$50k.

This method returns an array of NFIPPremium products for the given location items. Optionally creates a csv file

(More information on the Property NFIP product can be found on the Property NFIP Page on the First Street Foundation API Data Dictionary)

Arguments:

• csv: bool, whether to create a CSV for the retrieved data.
• output_dir: string, location to output the created CSV (if csv is True).
