Estate Cleanout on the
Lower East Side

When you're clearing a relative's longtime Lower East Side home — an old tenement walk-up or a Grand Street co-op held for generations — JunkRabbit handles the whole home with care. Keepsakes set aside first, usable furniture and housewares donated, the rest carried down the narrow stairs and hauled. A price from photos so there's no in-home estimate during a hard time, worked to the estate's timeline.

Clearing a lifetime in a tenement or co-op, with care

The Lower East Side is old walk-up tenements off Ludlow, Orchard, and Rivington, and the Grand Street and Seward Park co-ops — homes where families stayed for generations, every closet and cabinet full. Clearing one after a death is heavy, and the steep tenement stairs make it harder. We take that off your plate. Tell us what the family wants kept and we set it aside first; usable goods go to a donation partner where we can, with a receipt for the estate; everything else is carried down by hand and disposed of responsibly. No stair fee on the walk-ups; for the co-ops we email the COI to the managing agent and book the elevator. We leave the apartment broom-clean for whoever comes next.

You don't need to schedule an in-home estimate — send photos of the rooms and we quote the whole home in minutes, priced by how much it fills a truck. Send photos for an exact quote.

Can you carry everything down a walk-up tenement?

Yes. The Lower East Side is old walk-up tenements with steep, narrow stairs — we carry the whole home down by hand with no stair fee, whatever the floor.

Can you set aside keepsakes and donate what's usable?

Yes. Tell us what the family wants kept and we set it aside first. Usable furniture, housewares, books, and clothing go to a donation partner where we can, with a receipt for the estate; the rest is recycled or disposed of responsibly.

Can you handle a co-op board's COI?

Yes. For the co-ops around Grand Street and Seward Park, we carry liability insurance and email a certificate of insurance to the managing agent, and book the service elevator where there is one.

Can you finish to the lease-surrender or closing date?

Yes. We work to the estate's timeline and can leave the apartment broom-clean for the landlord, the board, or the realtor.
