Moving in Brooklyn
What should I plan before moving in Brooklyn?
For moving in Brooklyn, share both addresses, the item list, and stair or lift access. Ask who supplies the vehicle. Check the current truck route and each building’s move rules. HandyFox does not promise a mover for every address or date. Agree on the route, scope, and timing with the pro.
Check the route before loading
For a Greenpoint move, share the exact block with the driver. Ask about the route and the loading spot as separate questions. A street route does not grant a place to park.
Use the current truck routes
As of 2026-10-19, Greenpoint Avenue between West Street and Franklin Street was removed from the truck network. The city change list took effect on October 4, 2026.
A removal from the network is not a blanket ban on reaching a home there. The city has rules for the last leg to an address off a truck route.
Check the last leg
As of 2026-10-19, city truck rules let a truck reach an address off the network by the most direct route from the nearest truck-route junction. Drivers must then return by the most direct route to the nearest truck route. Posted signs still matter.
Agree on the work
Say whether you need packing, lifting, or taking furniture apart. Do not assume a request includes boxes, a truck, or waste removal. Learn how HandyFox works before you set your move plan.
