Moving to New York City can be exciting, but there are many complexities that can arise during the moving process that can make moving more complicated. Due to the limited space and smaller living styles, the process of moving personal belongings and furniture can be challenging.

Some of the challenges you can face during a New York City move are:

• Specific moving restrictions
• Permits and licenses: Access to elevators and stairways can be limited
• Buildings may require a time slot reservation for access

It is important to hire a moving company that can seamlessly navigate you through the complex process of moving in NYC.

Due to the limited space in New York City, many buildings have special requirements when it comes to moving.

Some common requirements include:

• Elevator restrictions: many buildings require you to reserve a specific time to use the elevators that won’t cause too much disruption for residents
• Service elevator: some buildings will require you to use a service elevator that needs to be reserved in advance
• Weekend moving time limitations: some buildings limit the hours during which moves can take place on weekends to avoid disruption
• Prior scheduling/notice of the move: building management may require notice of a move in order to schedule elevator or stair access for you
• Parking restrictions: due to limited street space there are regulations on where moving trucks or vans can be parked

Depending on the building and its management policies, these requirements can vary.

When moving in NYC it is important to choose a moving company that is certified, insured and fully compliant.

Here’s what to expect from companies in compliance:

• All of the necessary certifications and licenses required by the state and federal government to operate legally as a moving company
• A company has met all of the regulatory standards and requirements for safety, security and quality.
• Full insurance coverage for a moving company’s day to day operations to ensure that in the event of an accident or damage during the moving process, the company and its clients are fully protected and compensated.

Full compliance from the moving company with these regulations is imperative to ensure a smooth and safe move.
