“I had some old patio furniture to haul away. Booking was easy and the haulers did a great job. Will use Junk Rabbit again for this sort of thing.”

Brooklyn Heights is NYC's first Historic District — and that shapes our work
Brooklyn Heights became the country's first designated Historic District in 1965. That landmark status means every exterior alteration (façade, windows, signage, even visible HVAC condensers) requires Landmarks Preservation Commission approval. For junk removal, the rules don't apply directly — we're working interiors and moving things to the curb — but they shape what's possible during renovations. Owners can change anything inside a brownstone but face significant constraints on what they can do to the exterior.
The housing stock reflects this preservation: Brooklyn Heights has one of the most intact concentrations of 19th-century brownstones, Greek Revival row houses, and Federal-style buildings in the country. Plus a layer of pre-war elevator co-ops — many built in the 1920s-30s — along the Promenade and the cross streets near Montague. Then a smaller layer of modern condos along Court Street and the Atlantic Avenue corridor.
For our crews, Brooklyn Heights is a high-care neighborhood. Original woodwork on most brownstone interiors. Antique-heavy apartment furnishings in the older co-ops. Multi-generational ownership in many brownstones. We move slower and protect more.
What we move out of Brooklyn Heights every week
- Pre-war co-op estate clearouts. Apartment near the Promenade that hasn't been touched in 40 years. Original built-in cabinetry, antique furniture, decades of correspondence, art with provenance, occasional vintage clothing or fur. Multi-day work with executor coordination. We've learned to move slowly through these — items get held back at every stage for the family to consider.
- Brownstone parlor-floor renovations. Owner-occupied brownstones updating kitchens, bathrooms, or restoring the parlor floor. Demo debris hauling coordinated with the contractor. Original-1880s tile sometimes saved, sometimes pulled; pulled cabinets and broken appliances; sheetrock.
- Pre-resale apartment turnovers. Pre-war co-op 1-2 bedrooms being prepared for sale. Furniture pile, decades of personal items, sometimes a single Persian rug that's the most valuable item in the apartment. Standard 90-minute job.
- Modern condo cleanouts. The newer Court Street buildings (160 Henry, 91 Henry, Hotel Bossert conversion) see standard tenant turnover. Resident-manager-coordinated freight slots.
- Pied-à-terre furnishing changes. A meaningful share of Brooklyn Heights apartments are second residences. Furniture changes happen on the owner's schedule, often coordinated by a property manager.

What Brooklyn Heights customers tell us
★★★★★
"Pierrepont Street pre-war — my aunt's apartment, occupied since 1972. The estate clearout took four days, executor was on-site each day. They blanket-wrapped every antique and let us hold items back at every step. Respectful, careful, fair."
— Elizabeth P., Brooklyn Heights (11201)
★★★★★
"Brownstone on Garden Place — mid-renovation, old kitchen and bathroom debris over three weeks. The contractor coordinated pickups every Tuesday and Friday. Clean operation, the original woodwork on the parlor floor never saw a scratch."
— James M., Brooklyn Heights (11201)
★★★★★
"Co-op on Montague — selling, needed the apartment cleared before staging. Building approved the COI within a day, freight slot was Wednesday morning. Two hours later, the apartment was empty. Exact quote."
— Patricia D., Brooklyn Heights (11201)
Frequently asked questions
Brooklyn Heights is in the Historic District — does that affect junk pickup?
It affects what you can do to the building (façade, windows, exterior) but not how junk is removed from the interior. We work the same way as anywhere else: stoop or service-entrance access, interior carry-down, blanket-wrapping anything that could damage original woodwork. The Landmarks Preservation Commission rules only kick in for exterior alterations or contractor work changing the building's structure or appearance.
Do you handle the pre-war co-ops near the Promenade?
Yes — the buildings along Pierrepont, Remsen, Montague (1, 4, 16 Montague, 122 Pierrepont, the Hotel Bossert conversion, etc.) all require Certificates of Insurance. Standard $1M GL + $2M umbrella, named additional insureds; we email the COI to your managing agent within an hour of booking. Service-elevator slots through the resident manager.
Brownstones in the Heights have steep stoops. How does that work?
Standard. The truck pulls up at the curb, the crew goes up the stoop or in through the garden-level door, items come out the front or the back. Many Brooklyn Heights brownstones still have working garden-level entrances (the historic walkway under the stoop) — we use these for heavy items to avoid the stoop.
Estate clearouts of long-occupied apartments?
Common in Brooklyn Heights. Many pre-war co-ops near the Promenade have been continuously occupied by the same family for 30-50+ years. Multi-day estate clearouts with executor coordination, careful handling of antiques and art, donations to Housing Works or local charities staged separately. Quote scales with apartment size and density.
How does parking work on Hicks, Henry, and Court?
Court Street is the commercial spine — metered, busy, side-street staging is the rule. The brownstone side streets (Hicks, Henry, Willow, Garden Place, Joralemon, Pierrepont) tolerate stoop-side curb access during weekday mid-day hours. ASP enforcement is firm but reasonable.
