The building office plans most pickups in Long Island City, because elevator buildings and condominiums account for 88 percent of the homes here. Many of them keep a front desk, a loading dock or a side entrance meant for vendors, along with a service elevator that is booked in blocks of time. Ask which door to use and how long the elevator can be held, and note both where the pickup tag asks for building access. In a walk-up or a side street row house, give the floor and describe the steps.
