After an eviction, every day the unit sits full is a day it is not earning. Most tenants who leave under those circumstances leave a lot behind — furniture, mattresses, bagged trash, food in the refrigerator, and whatever did not fit in the car.
LaFata Disposal Services clears post-eviction units fast. We can usually be on site within a day or two of the warrant being executed, and most apartments are cleared in a single visit.
We work with Syracuse-area landlords who own everything from a single double on the North Side to multi-unit buildings. The priority is always the same: empty, clean and ready for paint.
What we remove after an eviction
- Abandoned furniture, mattresses and box springs
- Bagged and loose garbage from every room
- Refrigerator and freezer contents
- Clothing, toys and personal belongings left behind
- Damaged carpet and padding
- Broken appliances and electronics
- Basement, porch and yard debris
- Kitchen and bathroom contents
How we handle an eviction turnover
1. Call as soon as the unit is legally yours
We schedule around the marshal's timeline and any storage-notice requirements your attorney has advised.
2. Photo documentation on arrival
We photograph the condition before we touch anything, which is useful for security deposit and damage claims.
3. Complete clear-out
Everything goes: rooms, closets, appliances, basement storage and porch. One visit for most one- and two-bedroom units.
4. Swept and ready for the trades
Floors broom-clean so painters, flooring installers and cleaners can start immediately.
Who books eviction cleanouts
- Independent landlords with one to a few properties
- Property management companies
- Multi-family building owners
- Attorneys and agents handling landlord-tenant matters
- Investors taking over occupied buildings
New York has specific rules about handling a former tenant's remaining property. Follow whatever your attorney advises on notice and storage; we will work within whatever schedule that produces.
If you turn units regularly, tell us. Repeat landlord clients get priority scheduling and simpler pricing.
Frequently asked questions
How fast can you get to a unit after an eviction?
Usually within one to two business days, and sometimes same-week for urgent turnovers.
Do you photograph the unit first?
Yes, and we send the photos to you. Landlords consistently find them useful for deposit and damage documentation.
Can you clear a whole multi-unit building?
Yes. Multiple units are scheduled together and priced as one job.
Do you take the refrigerator contents too?
Yes. Spoiled food is bagged and sealed on site so the unit does not smell after we leave.
