What goes into your Todt Hill moving cost

- Flights of stairs — roughly $50–$150 per flight. 81% of Todt Hill moves are walk-ups, so this is the biggest cost swing here.
- Elevator & COI — many Staten Island buildings require a reserved service elevator and a Certificate of Insurance. MOVD handles the COI; reserve the elevator early.

- Parking permit — a NYC DOT moving-truck permit ($35–$50) may be needed on busy Todt Hill blocks; your mover can usually arrange it.
