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It's a very touristy area (but close to Bryant park which is nice) and the building amenities are super outdated and not worth it.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.

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.

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.

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.

Extremely well managed.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Convenient location to subways. Excellent staff (doormen, porters, etc, all great). Good gym classes (pre-covid). Rooftop space is spectacular. Never saw a single pest.
Cons:
There's not much I didn't like. I only moved out because the neighborhood was too hectic and generally unpleasant.
Advice to owner:
Nothing - they do a good job.
