A print-and-use NYC moving day checklist: the exact questions to ask your building’s management office about the certificate of insurance, elevator, permitted days and hours, truck parking, fees, and access, before moving day.
What a NYC move-in fee really is, who charges it, whether it’s legal and refundable, and an honest answer on how much when no reliable range exists. Plus how an upfront mover keeps the rest of your moving costs from surprising you.
How to reserve your building’s elevator for a move, step by step: book the service elevator about two weeks ahead, get a 2 to 4 hour weekday window, keep your mover’s COI on file, and know what happens if you skip it.
Can’t your mover just handle all the building paperwork and access for you? Yes. Boxify treats COIs and building access as a routine part of every move, carries workers’ comp on every job, and asks what your building requires up front, so nothing scrambles on move day.
What a certificate of insurance (COI) for movers is, why your NYC building demands one, what the ACORD 25 form actually looks like so you can read your own, and how to make sure your movers provide it before move day.
The whole NYC building move-in checklist in one calm place: the certificate of insurance, the elevator reservation, your building’s permitted hours, the truck-parking reality, and possible fees, with what your building requires kept honestly separate from what city law says.
