Summary

300 East 39th is a Murray Hill rental where every apartment is advertised with in-unit laundry, backed by a rooftop terrace, 24-hour gym and concierge. Residents praise the staff, maintenance and views, while high recurring charges, window noise and temperature control are the more consistent drawbacks; recent heat and pest problems also deserve attention.

Reviews

The on-site staff and practical apartment features are the strongest parts of the resident experience. The building is generally well regarded, but recurring fees, street and hospital noise, uneven temperature control and a smaller cluster of heat and pest problems complicate the picture.

What residents praise

Front desk and maintenance staff earn trust

Residents describe responsive service, friendly doormen and quick help with repairs, with some long-term residents treating the staff like family.

Rooftop views are a genuine highlight

The furnished roof terrace and East River or skyline views are repeatedly cited as reasons the building feels special.

In-unit laundry and location simplify daily life

Every apartment is advertised with a washer and dryer, while Grand Central, groceries and the East River are within walking distance.

What residents complain about

Recurring charges and rent increases add up

Residents mention amenity, connectivity and utility costs alongside substantial renewal increases, making the total monthly budget more important than base rent alone.

Windows and HVAC can struggle with the setting

Some apartments let in hospital and street noise and have inconsistent heating or air conditioning, especially when windows or equipment are not performing well.

Heat and pest problems have affected some residents

A smaller but material pattern includes whole-building heat or hot-water trouble and pest complaints, with one detailed resident account describing a serious roach problem and slow resolution.

Amenities

300 East 39th has in-unit laundry, built-in air conditioning and a 24-hour attended lobby. Shared spaces include a fitness center, rooftop terrace and lounges, with a package room and resident storage.

Building records

The housing-complaint rate is close to that of comparable buildings, but hot-water and heating issues account for most reports. Service reliability is worth asking about, along with the repairs behind the open plumbing and cabinet violations.
