Planning a Condo & HOA Office Move

Many Massachusetts condominium associations are organized as trusts, so the decision to move the association's office is usually a vote of the trustees, and the managing agent carries it out. The office itself is often small, a room off the lobby or a suite in the basement, or it is at the management company's own office. What makes it matter is the records. Associations are expected to keep their records, such as meeting minutes, budgets, and financial statements, and make them available to unit owners, so those files have to arrive complete and findable.

The building side is familiar to anyone who lives in a Boston condo. The association's own move rules apply to the association: an elevator reservation, elevator pads, set move hours, and a certificate of insurance on file with management. We walk both rooms with the manager, label furniture and released cartons by destination shelf or cabinet, and carry them along the approved route. The manager's staff pack and seal the records and keep keys and payment material with them.

Who usually signs off
Condo board president or designated board member approving the scope, with the property manager arranging building access and record release
Timing that works
After the trustees or board vote on the move, on dates that clear the building's resident move reservations and meeting calendar, usually on a weekday.

What typically moves

  • Trustees' meeting table and chairs Table legs or leaves removed if needed to clear the elevator.
  • Minute books, budgets, and sealed records cartons Packed and sealed by staff; placed at the cabinet or shelf on each label.
  • Unit files and architectural-request cabinets Drawers secured or emptied by staff before moving.
  • Manager's desk and visitor seating Padded for lobby and hallway carries.
  • Supply shelving and mailroom sorters Boxed by shelf so the new office is set in order.
  • Freestanding notice boards Moved if the board wants them; wall-mounted boards stay with maintenance.

Access and scheduling

The trustees' vote should say what moves and where. The manager then books it like any unit-owner move: elevator reservation, pads, move hours, and a certificate listing the association and the managing agent as insured parties, which we can issue. If resident moves are booked, ours goes around them. Weekday work usually suits a condo office, but a Saturday or an evening is possible when the condo rules permit.

Before the day, send us the route from the office door to the truck at both ends, the elevator's cab size, and where cartons can wait without blocking the lobby. In older Back Bay and South End buildings, the elevator may be small and the stairs narrow, so the meeting table may have to come apart. In newer buildings along Route 128, the office may sit next to a fitness room or mailroom with its own hours.

Protection and handling

Condo common areas are the owners' shared property, and the association that is moving is also the one that enforces the rules, so the crew protects them carefully. Runners cover lobby floors and hall carpet, elevator pads go up, and corners along the route get guards. Carts stay clear of residents' doors and the mailroom.

Records are the priority inside the office. Staff pack and seal cartons and mark each one with its destination cabinet or shelf, and we carry them closed and place them there. Keys, checks, and payment records stay with staff. The meeting table and cabinets are checked against the elevator before wrapping, since a table that does not fit has to be taken apart, not tipped. The manager checks that every carton reached its shelf before we leave.

Who does what

Some of this job belongs to other trades. The written plan names each one.

Trustees' vote and owner notices
The trustees approve the move; the managing agent handles notices and building rules.
Association records, keys, and payment material
The manager's staff pack, seal, and keep them.
Wall-mounted boards and office systems
Building maintenance removes fixed items; the management company's IT handles computers and phones.

Not part of our work

  • Deciding which records are kept, discarded, or shown to owners.
  • Holding keys or opening sealed files.
  • Removing anything attached to common-area walls.

Around Boston and MetroWest

Condo association offices in this market run from small lobby or basement rooms in Back Bay, South End, Cambridge, and Brookline buildings, often with one small elevator, to management suites in larger complexes in Quincy, Newton, and along Route 128, where the office may share a floor with amenity spaces.

Condo & HOA Office Moving FAQs

Another question? Call (774) 421-9389.

Do the trustees need to vote before you survey the association office?

No. The manager can show us the rooms so we can write up the work. The trustees should approve the destination and scope before the date is booked, so the plan matches an actual decision. After that, the manager confirms which records and furniture staff will release.

Who packs the board minutes and unit-owner files?

The manager's staff. They know which files are active and where each belongs, and associations have to keep those records complete for owners. We can suggest carton sizes and a shelf-labeling scheme, then carry the sealed cartons and place them by label. Staff keep keys and payment material.

Can the office move use the same elevator residents have reserved?

Not during their reservation. The manager sets the elevator calendar, and we plan around the open blocks. If the meeting table and cabinets need several trips, the manager can book a long enough block for them. Residents keep their assigned windows either way.

What if the association is moving from a lobby office to an upper-floor room?

We check both doors, the elevator cab, and the route through common areas before the day. The manager confirms the new room is ready and names a place to stage cartons that does not block residents. Each piece is labeled for its new spot, so nothing sits in the hallway waiting to be sorted.
