House Rules

A shared building

The 46 is home to up to 80 rooms of residents at a time, in a nine-story building on a busy Midtown street. Our house rules exist so the building stays comfortable, quiet and safe for everyone. Most of it is common sense. These are the parts worth writing down.

Keys, access and our team

Entry to the building is keyed; do not prop doors or lend your key. Keys are handed over at move-in, which is arranged with our team in advance. The building has an on-site maintenance and cleaning team and no staffed reception: report anything that needs attention through the resident portal or by email. Lost keys should be reported immediately and may carry a replacement charge.

Quiet hours

Quiet hours run from 10:00 pm to 8:00 am, every day. Music and conversation in common spaces should be at conversational volume, and hallways should stay quiet at all hours. Performers rehearsing in their rooms are asked to keep it to daytime and to keep the volume neighborly.

Guests

Daytime guests are welcome in your room and the common spaces, with you present. You are responsible for your guests while they are in the building. Overnight guests are limited to two consecutive nights and require advance notice to our team. Guests must be 18 or older.

Your room and bathroom

Every room has its own private bathroom. You are responsible for keeping your room and bathroom clean between your arrival and departure; our cleaning team looks after the common areas, not the rooms. Report leaks, drains or fixture problems through the resident portal promptly. Do not remove furniture from the room or bring in additional large furniture without written approval.

Common spaces

The lounge, study room and fitness room are looked after by our on-site cleaning team and are shared by everyone in the building. Residents are expected to clean up after themselves between cleanings: return cups and dishes, take out your trash, and leave equipment as you found it.

Smoking and substances

The entire building, including every room, every bathroom and all common spaces, is non-smoking. This includes vaping. Use of any illegal substance on the premises is grounds for immediate termination of your residency.

Pets

Service animals are always welcome. Other pets are reviewed case by case before move-in.
