Summary

HOUSE39 is a 297-unit Murray Hill rental with extensive indoor and rooftop amenities, including a seasonal pool, fitness spaces, lounges and a large landscaped terrace. Residents consistently praise the front-desk and maintenance staff, views and community, while management response, lasting repair fixes, package organization and smoke or neighbor noise are the main concerns.

Reviews

HOUSE39’s staff, rooftop spaces and resident events create a stronger sense of community than many large rentals. The experience is less consistent when an issue needs management follow-through rather than a routine front-desk or maintenance response.

What residents praise

Front-desk and maintenance staff are a clear strength

Residents repeatedly describe the doormen, package-room and maintenance teams as warm, attentive and fast with everyday requests.

Rooftop amenities and views feel genuinely useful

The pool, landscaped terraces, grills, lounges and fitness spaces earn sustained praise rather than reading as amenities people rarely use.

Events and neighbors give the building a community feel

Residents value organized events, friendly neighbors and clean shared spaces that make a large Midtown building feel more personal.

What residents complain about

Management follow-through can be slow

Residents describe delayed replies, difficult lease questions and temporary repair fixes that do not fully resolve a recurring problem.

Smoke and sound can travel between apartments

Several residents mention thin walls, loud neighbors and cigarette or marijuana odor on some floors, with recent building complaints also concentrated on residential noise.

Packages and apartment condition deserve a close check

Package-room mix-ups recur in otherwise positive reviews, while a smaller group reports water, cooling or pest problems that required repeated attention.

Amenities

HOUSE39 has in-unit laundry, central air and a 24-hour attended lobby. Shared amenities include fitness and yoga studios, a pool, hot tubs, landscaped terraces and a laundry room, with an attended garage and refrigerated package storage.

Building records

The housing-complaint rate is below that of comparable buildings, with residential noise accounting for most reports. Exterior work and a new-building project about 150 feet away could also affect quiet at home.
