Service across 10021, 10028, 10065, 10075, and 10128 — pre-war doorman co-ops along Park, Madison, and Fifth; Carnegie Hill brownstones; Yorkville tenement walk-ups east of Second; the new Second Avenue subway towers. We know which managing agent runs which building.

Upload Photos & Get Quote →The actual physical work of removing a couch from an UES apartment is straightforward — virtually every building has a service elevator, most apartments are on lower floors than the people-elevator implies, and the streets are wide enough to stage a truck. What makes UES jobs slower than Brooklyn jobs is the paperwork stack: every co-op north of 60th Street wants a Certificate of Insurance before a vendor enters the lobby, every managing agent has slightly different requirements (additional-insured language, umbrella minimums, named entities), and service-elevator slots are tightly rationed.
The good news: we've worked with most of the UES managing agents (Brown Harris Stevens, Halstead, Douglas Elliman, Cooper Cooper, Andrews, Charles H. Greenthal, Rose Associates, Argo) for years. The COI templates are pre-built; the lobby protocols are memorized; the resident managers know our crew names. What might be a 3-day setup for an outside hauler is usually 24 hours for us.
East of Second Avenue tells a different story — the Yorkville blocks between 79th and 96th still have walk-up tenement stock (often 4-6 stories, no elevator, original 1900s staircases). Pickups here run more like Brooklyn than like Park Avenue: physical carry, disassembly when needed, walk-up surcharge per flight.

Every UES doorman co-op runs slightly different protocols, but the patterns are stable:
When you book and tell us your building (e.g., "910 Fifth Avenue" or "455 East 86th Street"), we pull the building's managing agent from our records, email the COI naming them as additional insured, and copy you. Most managing agents respond within 24 hours for established UES properties; some same-day. Once approved, the building's super or resident manager assigns the service-elevator slot directly to us.
Yes. Multi-day estate clearouts of long-occupied UES apartments are a routine job for us. Typical process: day 1 walk-through with the executor or family member to identify what's being kept, donated (we can coordinate Housing Works or similar), or discarded; day 2-3 actual clearout work; final day for any white-glove touches. We've handled apartments with antique furniture, original art, fur coats, china, and decades of personal correspondence. Estate auction houses can be coordinated separately.
Doorman-building pickups are usually 24-48 hours minimum because of the COI + slot-booking process. Walk-up apartments east of Second can be same-day if booked before noon. If you're in a hurry on a doorman building, call us — sometimes the building can expedite, especially in non-busy seasons.
Yes. We can issue COIs with custom additional-insured language, including the building entity, managing agent, and any "and its agents and assigns" wording your building requires. Our broker can have custom COIs generated within a few hours. The $1M GL + $1M umbrella covers virtually every UES building's requirements.
"Estate cleanout of my mother's apartment off Lexington. The hauler had the COI to the managing agent within an hour, coordinated the service elevator with the super, and was respectful around the antiques. Three days for a 4-bedroom — exactly as quoted."
"Park Avenue co-op, 12th floor. Service elevator slot was Monday 9 AM and the crew was waiting in the lobby at 8:55. Furniture out by 11:30, building barely noticed. Cooper Cooper signed off on the COI same-day."
"5th-floor walk-up on Second Ave near 89th. My old couch, mattress, and a busted IKEA wardrobe. Five flights of stairs, and the total still came in $200 less than the local hauler my super suggested. Same-day, no fuss."
