NYC moving costs that catch people off guard
- Many apartment buildings require a certificate of insurance that names the landlord or property manager as an additional insured before movers may enter; some movers charge extra for it, while others include it.
- Ridgewood's tight parking and alternate-side rules can leave a truck with a parking ticket, which the customer usually pays under the moving contract.
- Walk-ups and long carries often trigger stair or long-carry fees unless the quote is flat-rate.
- Tipping is commonly $20–$40 per mover for a half-day and $40–$60+ per mover for a full day.

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.
