NYC Apartment Movers Who Understand City Buildings
Moving into or out of a New York City apartment requires careful planning. Building rules, narrow staircases, elevator reservations, loading areas, and designated moving hours can all affect how your move is handled.

Walk-up apartments
Elevator buildings
High-rise apartment buildings
Condos and co-ops
Brownstones and townhouses

Before moving day, check your building's moving policies, available moving hours, elevator requirements, and whether a Certificate of Insurance is required. Sharing these requirements with our team in advance helps us plan your apartment move and avoid unnecessary delays.

Moving From an NYC Walk-Up?
Moving into or out of an NYC walk-up apartment requires additional planning, especially when furniture and boxes need to be carried through narrow staircases, hallways, and doorways.
Our apartment movers consider your floor, stair access, building entrance, furniture, and other potential obstacles when planning your move. Large furniture can be carefully protected and, when appropriate, disassembled before being moved through tight spaces and reassembled at your new apartment.
If you're moving from one walk-up to another, let us know the floor and access conditions at both locations when requesting your quote. This helps our team plan the crew, equipment, and time needed for your move.
Elevator and High-Rise Apartment Moves
Many NYC apartment buildings require residents to reserve a service or freight elevator before moving. Condos, co-ops, and high-rise buildings may also restrict moves to specific days or hours and require advance documentation from your moving company.
Before moving day, check with your building management or property manager to confirm:
Whether a freight or service elevator must be reserved
Available moving days and hours
Loading dock or building entrance requirements
Whether a Certificate of Insurance (COI) is required
Parking or loading restrictions
Any other building-specific moving policies
Sharing these requirements with Dumbo Moving & Storage in advance allows our team to plan around your building's procedures and help avoid delays on moving day.
