Atelier at 635 West 42 Street,

Manhattan, NY 10036

Good finish at the place and lots of flex buildings

Location is not great

The doormen are great, cleaned often, and washer dryer in unit

Hidden fees when applying, management is not the most responsive over email, location (near Times Square)

Looks good from the outside, great views

Filthy apartment with mold and leaks. Bathrooms and kitchen were disgusting. Not finished painting. Every single inch is grime. Long wait for elevator.

Clean and fix apartment before letting anyone move in

Overall newer appliances and amenities, felt cleaner

Shower drain constantly backed up and there was something wrong with the sewage/draining system. Building not helpful with fixing after sending people multiple times. Dryer never worked well, left clothes wet.

good sized units

The agent would not show me the unit and eventually told me that my friend and I were "idiots" for wanting to see the unit before signing a lease. I asked for the lease language to change since it said on it that I have viewed the unit I am renting and he took the apartment away from us and kept 1k in "application fees" very poorly managed and unprofessional.

I felt very disrespected by the agent.

Great amenities, very clean

Far from the subway, and we never got a fob

The layout of this apartment is excellent. The floor-to-ceiling windows are lovely. The staff are friendly and helpful.

The apartment was not painted before we moved in and it was FILTHY. It took us two days to clean the mold out of the washer/dryer, the filth out of the toilets and sinks and the grit from the walls and floor. We refer to it as a luxury apartment with a slumlord.

The lobby is huge and a waste of space when you could really use a satisfactory bike room.

Have lived here for many years. The place is clean and I have never ever seen a bug or rodent. You get some noise from the nightclub in the summer, but don’t hear much from the highway if you are up a bit so overall insulation is better than average. Maintenance guy is ok, while most amenities are fake, the roof is awesome and free breakfast during week days is nice. Folks that work the front desk are very nice. Elevators generally are good. Neighbors are friendly, but sometimes get some 20s financial types that party loud but front desk will shut that down if you call. Above all this, spectacular views.

The leasing office is about as rude and clueless as it gets. The less you deal with them the better
Some of the amenities the property management company lists just don’t exist.
The gym is blah, you’re better off paying up the money for the lifetime next door.
Far away from the subway system.
Much of the appliances in the building are starting to break down, and the bathroom ventilation isn’t great and if you don’t studiously clean the shower mold will grow.

Replace the entire leasing office and refresh the marketing

Amazing Building with Views

Management can take long to get back to you.

Free Cross Town Shuttle
Amazing Rooftop Lounge

Bad Gym
Boring Area

Awesome view, modern apartment and furnishings, decent management and doormen, hold even large packages for you

Far from transit, not much going on around the building, package room only open during work hours which can be tough if you work in office (I often couldn’t get my package for days)

Extend hours of package center if possible, more consistent shuttles on return from transit to alleviate transit desert; otherwise really nice!

Nice doorman and package staff.

Management takes very long to reply. Will offer a renewal but forces you to sign it within a day otherwise the rent will go up.

Treat your tenants like people.

Nice amenities, safe

Flex rooms are very small

First apartment I moved to in NYC. W/D in Unit, located right by the west side highway for citi bikes, no pests or trash on the sidewalk. Safe building and many more benefits such as the roof deck.

Location is great as far as being secluded but no nyc charm. It's very cold but clean. Very expensive for being in midtown as well.

Fix the tennis court and it would be a hard place to leave

- Friendly doormen and staff
- Easy trash disposal
- Great views
- Clean lobby
- Easy to contact super for maintenance

- 1 elevator (out of the 4 for the building) is frequently broken
- The indoor dog area is cleaned only sporadically
- Very hot in winter and difficult to balance temperature; AC is weak in summertime and fans are necessary
- Hardware on fridge and toilets became loose frequently
- Raised rent by $500 after first year

New elevator, better temperature regulation and more frequent cleaning of dog area; rents raised too quickly based on market

On the outside, it looks really nice. Its clean and views are nice

Elevators are always broken causing 15-20 mins just to get onto one
Responsiveness to get something fixed often takes a few follow ups
They will jack up your rent like crazy
Wifi on roof doesnt work/slow
Gym really sucks for a luxury building. Everything is broken in there and they wont replace it.

PLEASE maintain the building better!

great doormen, beautiful views

so far away from restaurants, subways, kinda sketchy neighborhood at night

It's close to good restaurants and apartments are bigger than normal.

Elevators, staff, "gym". Building is falling apart.

If you read the reviews on Yelp, the property owner tries to gaslight Yelpers.

Fix your building.

Kitchens are modern and sleek, nice rooftop and amenities.

Far from subway and not many good grocery stores

Update the rooftop a bit; starting to get outdated

Clean and friendly building, responsive to apartment issues, and heat/AC/water work well

Lack of accountability and ownership for who owns what issue. The building clearly charged a bit less than surrounding areas in exchange for lax assistance
