Plan from the approach to the doorway.
Show where you approach the stairs, where the chair would stop and how you would pass through the door. Ask the assessor to include the door swing, usable landing space and parked rail end on the proposal.
Ask for outdoor-rated equipment and the exact model instructions on weather, covers and charging. Discuss who keeps the route clear and arranges servicing. A photograph of an outdoor unit is an example, not proof that a particular model suits the conditions at your home.
East Greenbush is across the Hudson from Albany: ask the seller to confirm your actual service address rather than relying on a regional headline. Include any site or electrical preparation, travel charges and eventual removal in the written comparison.
Three questions for your East Greenbush comparison
- Does the plan include the doorway and clear landing space?
- What operating conditions apply to this outdoor model?
- Is installation and ongoing service confirmed at my address?
Before requesting an assessment
Describe the route and the rooms you want to reach. Give your actual NY address and ask the provider to confirm service there. The person who will use the chair should be involved in a demonstration and the final choice of seat, controls and stopping positions.
If you are helping someone else, use the printable checklist together. You do not need to choose a model before discussing the route, but the installer needs measurements before confirming fit.
