Some of these urban moving challenges include:
- Elevator restrictions: many buildings require designated time slots to be reserved for elevator access during a move.
- Small elevators: make moving large amounts of inventory and large items a challenge and time consuming.
- End of the month: at the end of the month many people are moving at the same time resulting in busy elevators and stairways. Reserving elevators in advance is highly recommended for your move.
- COI building request: certification of insurance to ensure building management of proper insurance coverage in case of accidents or other incidents that may occur on property.
- Small and more compact living spaces may require the use of a rig to move your items due to some of them not being able to fit into the building elevator or tight stairways.
