66 West 38 Street,

Manhattan, NY 10018

- Friendly Doormen, Porter, and Handyman - on first-name basis with them
- Very dog-friendly
- Personally for me I loved the location
- Close to Bryant Park
- On a fairly quiet street (compared to nearby)

- Had a few cockroach infestations from the dishwasher, had to call in handyman a few times
- Poor ventilation - next door neighbor smoked a lot (which is prohibited), could smell from the bathroom
- Laundry room machines always broken - sometimes hard to find an open or available washer/dryer

- staff are kind and responsive
- virtually zero bad issues related to living in building itself

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.

It's a very touristy area (but close to Bryant park which is nice) and the building amenities are super outdated and not worth it.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

Update the amenities and add a pool table.

Building staff, doormen
Common areas are kept clean
Maintenance issues are addressed promptly by the staff

Location - near a very busy, touristy area

The building is clean and the staff are professional and friendly. Maintenance requests are handled promptly.

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.

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.

central location
reasonable price, especially for manhattan
nice doorman (packages never got lost)

poor noise cancellation - can hear outside noises very well
loud air conditioner/heater

We've been very happy living here. If you're on a lower floor, watch out for some of the noise from 6th ave traffic. Otherwise, no complaints!

6th ave traffic noises

Centrally located, friendly staff, well managed building

Water pressure can be better

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.

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.

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.

Convenient, close to the subway, nightlife

Noise, short term leases, constantly broken washing machines

Gym & laundry in building

Floors were getting old

Update software like fridge or AC unit

Great doormen, responsive management team, insane roof views

Sometimes there can be a wait for the elevator

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.

There's not much I didn't like. I only moved out because the neighborhood was too hectic and generally unpleasant.

Nothing - they do a good job.
