Almost every NYC co-op, condo, and managed rental building requires one naming the building as an additional insured party before they will approve a move. All movers listed here can issue a COI — ask for it when you book so it is ready well before move day.
How much extra do movers charge for walk-up apartments?
Most NYC movers add a per-flight stair fee — typically $50–$75 per flight above the ground floor. A third-floor walk-up usually adds $100–$150 to the total, a fifth-floor walk-up $200–$300. Some companies charge per item instead of per flight, so always confirm the stair-fee structure in your written estimate.
Do NYC movers handle parking and potential tickets?
Professional NYC movers factor street logistics into their quotes. Many will secure a temporary "No Parking" permit from the city (DOT) to reserve curb space on move day. If they cannot get a permit, they build potential double-parking exposure into pricing. Always ask whether parking is included or an extra charge — it varies by company.
