Hello,

My wife and I are moving to Brooklyn at the end of June from LA. I am wondering about the need for moving permits/costs, both for large 53 ft. rigs (our moving company’s truck) to enter NYC (I imagine through Holland Tunnel) and to park in Brooklyn. We are looking to move into Prospect Park, Park Slope or Fort Greene neighborhoods. I have read both that parking permits are not needed, and that parking permits are needed. I have also read parking is not possible, and that the movers will have to park in NJ or something and van/shuttle over our stuff. Finally my mover is saying there may be some sort of charge for a large truck to even enter New York. Has anyone heard of this? Anyone out there move from the west coast to Brooklyn, and have to deal with these sorts of issues?

Many thanks,

N.
