NYC warns college students against ‘predatory’ moving company Dorm2Dorm
CITYWIDE — “BEWARE OF DORM2DORM,” the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection said on Friday in a warning to students attending college in the city. NYC recently won its lawsuit against the company, which “regularly failed to provide services that consumers paid for, misplaced possessions, or returned them damaged or broken,” the agency said in a release. In April, the court ordered the business to pay nearly $3.8 million in civil penalties and consumer restitution and cease operating illegally. But the company remains in operation, advertising dormitory moving services and summer storage on its website.
Consumers who were deceived by Dorm2Dorm, are encouraged to call 311 and say “Dorm2Dorm” or visit nyc.gov/dcwp to file a complaint.

While Brooklyn has become the epitome of ‘cool and hip’ in recent years, for those that were born here, raised families here and improved communities over the years, Brooklyn has never been ‘uncool’.
