Why doorman buildings are a different game
If you live in a Fifth Avenue prewar co-op, an Upper East Side condo, a Battery Park City luxury rental, or any managed Manhattan tower, you know the drill: nobody comes inside the unit without a COI on file at the management office. Most junk removal services either (a) don't carry the right insurance, (b) charge a "COI fee" of $50-$150, (c) take 2-3 business days to produce the document, or (d) submit a generic certificate that gets bounced for missing additional-insured language. Any of those four kills the pickup window.
JunkRabbit's haulers carry NYC commercial general liability rated for doorman building work. The COI workflow is automated — we know what Halstead wants, what Brown Harris wants, what Corcoran wants, what the Stonehenge portfolio wants. Your managing agent gets a clean certificate that matches the building's requirements the first time.
What we put on the COI
Standard COI checklist
- Certificate of Insurance with NYC commercial general liability
- Building entity named as additional insured (exact legal name)
- Managing agent named as additional insured (if required)
- Unit owner / shareholder named as additional insured (if required)
- Waiver of subrogation endorsement (if required)
- Workers' compensation certificate (if required)
- Sent directly to your managing agent's preferred email
- Same-day turnaround — no fee, no rush charge
Freight elevator coordination
Most prewar co-ops and managed condos require freight elevator booking. Once the COI is accepted, the super or resident manager reserves a freight slot for the pickup window. We check in at the loading dock or service entrance, the freight gets blanket-padded (every truck carries 4-6 furniture blankets), and the crew runs the load-out through the service corridor — never the passenger elevator. Standard etiquette, standard execution.
Managing agents we routinely work with

Frequently asked
Can you submit a COI to my managing agent?
Yes — free, same-day. Add your managing agent's name and email when you book, plus any additional-insured language your building requires. We email the Certificate of Insurance directly to them, usually within a few hours. No fee, no chase, no back-and-forth.
What insurance limits do you carry?
Our haulers carry standard NYC commercial general liability with limits that meet typical doorman building requirements. If your building has a specific limit requirement (e.g., $2M aggregate, umbrella endorsement), tell us at booking and we'll confirm before we dispatch — never a surprise rejection at the door.
How does freight elevator coordination work?
Most managed buildings require freight elevator booking through the super or resident manager. After we send the COI, you (or we — if you give us the contact) reserve a freight slot. The crew arrives in the reserved window, checks in at the loading dock or service entrance, and uses the freight for both load-in protection and the load-out.
Do you work with the major Manhattan managing agents?
Yes. Halstead, Brown Harris Stevens, Douglas Elliman, Corcoran, Rose Associates, Related, the Argo Real Estate properties, Stonehenge, A.J. Clarke — we've submitted COIs across most large Manhattan management portfolios. If your building uses a smaller managing agent or self-manages, we handle that too — just give us the contact at booking.
What if my building requires additional-insured naming?
Standard for prewar co-ops, condos, and luxury rentals. We can name your building entity, the managing agent, the unit owner, and any other parties your building requires as additional insureds on the COI. Add the exact legal names when you book — we'll get them right the first time so there's no rejection.
Is doorman building pickup pricing different?
No. Same flat per-item rate as walk-ups — no doorman surcharge, no Manhattan modifier, no freight elevator fee, no COI fee. Sofa $170, queen mattress $139, refrigerator $221, washer $179. Truck-fill cleanouts $325 (1/4 truck) to $985 (full 16-cy truck).
How fast can you get a COI to my building?
Standard turnaround is within a few hours of booking. If your building manager needs it sooner (e.g., for a same-day freight slot), tell us at booking and we'll prioritize — most same-day COI requests go out within 60-90 minutes. We don't charge a rush fee.
