Most Brooklyn co-ops won’t let a moving truck onto the block without three things signed: the board approval letter, a COI naming management as additional insured, and a freight-elevator booking with the building staff. Yelena files all three from the 4th Avenue desk a week ahead of move day. The truck doesn’t roll until management signs back in writing.
Paperwork we handle
- Board approval cycle — submission and follow-up
- COI written to the building’s exact named entity
- Freight elevator reservation with the doorman desk
- Loading-dock window and time slot lock
- ASP permit so the truck stays curb-legal all day
- Doorman tip handed from the truck — standard for the borough

Buildings we work weekly
DUMBO conversions, Fort Greene co-ops, Brooklyn Heights pre-wars, Williamsburg new-construction, Bay Ridge mid-rises, Prospect Heights low-rises. The doormen know the trucks — we’ve been routing through their loading docks since 2018 and most desks recognize a Mitch booking on the morning sheet without a callback.
