one of the best buildings in midtown
Former Tenant
Pros:
The doormen at the Atlas are genuinely so kind and will constantly go above and beyond for you. Most of the people in the building are in their 20-30s and there are a lot of dogs and not very many kids. We became best friends with our neighbors; everyone is truly so friendly! It's a very central location and the building is very well maintained. Most of our maintenance requests have been met within 24hrs.
Cons:
It's a very touristy area (but close to Bryant park which is nice) and the building amenities are super outdated and not worth it. They close the roof during the winter. They have been doing a lot of water maintenance lately so the water has been shut off/weirdly too hot sometimes, but they do give us a notice. We had a roach in the kitchen once, and pest control came by the next day and did a treatment and an inspection and we didn't have any issues after that. The leasing office is a pain to get a hold of and work with.
Advice to owner:
Update the amenities and add a pool table.

Great Building, Some Room for Improvements
Former Tenant
Pros:
Building staff are great. Generally very responsive. Building well-kept. BuildingLink App for filing and tracking maintenance requests. Friendly neighbors for the most part. Target downstairs. Pet-friendly!
Cons:
Usually only one “concierge” (front desk command/not exactly doorman) servicing three buildings with like a thousand apartments. They do have floating porters who attend to issues but the concierge is frequently overwhelmed with packages, food deliveries, issues, etc.
The PTAC air conditioner/heater is great when it works for the most part. It’s needed repairs/replacement three-four times over the years I’ve been here and each time it’s taken as long as a week - I don’t understand why they just don’t have all the extra parts and extra units around since there are so many apts here.
Advice to owner:
Need more front desk concierge. Stock extra PTAC units and parts.

Nice building but constant interior construction
Former Tenant
Pros:
Definitely the most cabinet and closet space out of all apartment buildings in LIC. Building staff were also polite and nice. Gym and pool (pool only open on specific days in the summer) were nice, though costed addition $75 pp/month.
Cons:
In the time I lived in the building, there were multiple issues with a least one elevator, leaving just 1-2 elevators available for ~40 floors. Constant construction -- they forced us to open our home for accessibility construction that I think the building was mandated to perform despite the fact that no one living there needed these improvements. The lounge areas needed repairs and they had lots of paint work happening on the first floor for weeks. This was never my experience with other apartment buildings in LIC.

Review of the Nicole
Former Tenant
Pros:
Love the people who looks after the building and residents on a day to day basis. The apartment and the common areas are well maintained. The rental process was also very smooth with their in-house agent. The location is very convenient and has many public transportation options.
Cons:
The elevators have been going through renovation for a long time and so there has just been one elevator (out of two) that has been running. The sound insulation is pretty bad. I can hear everything on the streets.

Good experience so far
Former Tenant
Pros:
Very prompt response to issues. Doormen are wonderful.
Cons:
We had a leak immediately after moving into the unit that still has not been fixed. Not necessarily the maintenance people’s fault, they have tried to find the source but can’t, but is frustrating paying full rent when we have a hole in the wall. The building feels pretty cheaply made. There are only two elevators for 30+ floors, so the wait times can be annoying.

Standard midtown highrise
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building is clean and the staff are professional and friendly. Maintenance requests are handled promptly.
Cons:
Building amenities are dated not worth paying the monthly fee to use.
Floors / kitchen cabinets aren’t the best quality and are showing their age.
There’s a decent amount of street noise from 6th Ave. But it’s midtown so it comes with the territory.
Advice to owner:
Provide better lease renewal options that incentivize good tenants to stay. And leave the roof unlocked during the winter. It’s nice to get some fresh air without having to step onto the streets of Midtown.
Walls can be a bit thin. Elevators are often broken or in service.

Gem of a building in a very busy area
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building's day to day management is fantastic. I cannot say enough about friendly, accountable, and helpful the doormen are. The porters and maintenance staff keep the building clean and in great shape. The gym is good enough. The building also has great events through the Gotham Real Estate parent company. Prices are reasonable although going up.
Cons:
Renewing the lease requires you to interface with the leasing company, and they are unfortunately the weak link here. I imagine they try their best but I've had my fair share of communication issues with them.
Advice to owner:
I would really advise that you treat current tenants, especially long standing tenants with excellent track records, really well. Why not keep your good tenants, give them options on the lease renewal and communicate clearly.

Great place to live
Former Tenant
Pros:
Building is clean. Staff is great. Gym is a full, functioning gym. This is a great place to live.
Cons:
Had issues with disruptive other tenant and staff wasn’t able to fix it. :( but other than that no complaints other than them increasing the rent so much!
