Thank you both very much for the info!  Since it was not part of what I was paying him, I agreed to pay him the additional $200 he asked for, for the 3 visits.  It's a big house on a corner, with a lot of sidewalk area, plus steps leading up to both apts.  Plus it was a LOT of snow.

I have moved overseas and had to hire someone to manage the front garbage cans and also keep the sidewalk and street clear of garbage.  (Sanitation officials just love to give citations for this.)  He lives a few blocks away and comes to the house (2-fam, in the Bronx) about 3-4 times a week, and I pay him $300/month.  (Another guy wanted to charge $350.)  Now that he shoveled snow, he wants more for that service.  Does this sound reasonable?  I don't want to be cheap, but I also don't want to be ripped off...  Thanks!

This is probably an odd question, but I need to find out how the USPS designates the two units in the house I'm buying.  (#1 #2? Upper, lower?)  I'm closing and moving into it in the next few weeks, so I need to be changing my address with the P.O. and other businesses, but I want to be sure the address I give is complete, so that the postal worker can easily separate my mail from my future tenant's mail.  It's no use asking the seller; he just bought it, renovated it, and flipped it, so I'm pretty sure he never received mail at the house.  I've been googling but can't figure this out!  Thanks.
