Chinatown Movers Who Know the Streets – Divine Moving & Storage

Chinatown is one of the most culturally vibrant and historically dense neighborhoods in New York City—and also one of the most challenging places to move. Between tight side streets, commercial/residential building overlaps, limited truck access, and high pedestrian and bike traffic, moving here requires strategy, local knowledge, and serious experience.

That’s where Divine Moving & Storage comes in.

With nearly 30 years of moving experience in Lower Manhattan, our crews know every alley, freight entrance, and building regulation from Canal Street to East Broadway. We’ve moved restaurants, multi-generational families, and commercial offices throughout the neighborhood—always with care, speed, and zero surprises.


Why Moving in Chinatown Is So Complex

Chinatown’s historic charm comes with real-world challenges for movers:

  • No elevators in 4–6 story walk-up buildings

  • Extremely limited parking on Canal, Mott, Pell, Bayard, and Division Streets

  • Protected bike lanes and pedestrian-only zones

  • High foot traffic during most of the day

  • Old buildings with fragile interiors and tight staircases

  • Mixed-use spaces with shared commercial/residential entries

  • COI and insurance requirements, especially near government buildings or co-ops

Divine Moving understands the cultural, logistical, and regulatory realities of Chinatown moves—whether it’s an early-morning delivery to avoid street closures or hoisting a sofa through a 3rd-floor fire escape.


Divine’s Full-Service Chinatown Moving Solutions

🏠 Apartment & Walk-Up Residential Moves

We move entire households, studio apartments, and extended families in Chinatown’s pre-war buildings. Our team is trained in stair-only moves and tight-space navigation.

📦 Packing & Unpacking Services

We offer professional packing with all materials provided—including specialty wrapping for artwork, antiques, and heirlooms common in long-standing Chinatown households.

🛠️ Disassembly, Reassembly & Furniture Hoisting

For large or awkward furniture that won’t fit down a stairwell, we offer window hoisting, narrow stair maneuvers, and complete reassembly in your new space.

🗃️ Storage with Pickup & Redelivery

Need short- or long-term storage? We’ll pick up your items from your apartment or business, store them in our secure climate-controlled facility, and return them when needed.

🧾 Same-Day COIs for Building or Business Moves

Chinatown buildings often require Certificates of Insurance for move-in/out. We issue same-day COIs to meet all residential and commercial requirements—including small business, restaurant, and property manager needs.
