Building and Parking Rules
Many Queens and NYC apartment buildings demand a Certificate of Insurance before allowing movers to use an elevator or loading dock. Request it early and confirm whether there is an added charge.
Streets here are narrow and subject to alternate-side parking. If the truck receives a parking ticket during your job, the contract usually makes you responsible, so clarify how the crew will handle street parking.
Fees Worth Clarifying
Local moves often carry a travel fee or double drive time, billed at the hourly rate for the truck's trip from the depot to your address and sometimes back.
Walk-up buildings and very heavy pieces such as pianos or safes may add per-flight or heavy-item charges on top of the hourly rate.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Queens County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 7% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
