Sunnyside's easement declaration for block 154, site of 39-10 46th Street, is dated December 31, 1925
39-10 46th Street sits on tax block 154, Washington Court, whose declaration of easements, like that of block 155, is dated December 31, 1925. The document kept the central gardens open for common use by banning fences, hedges, garages, clothes poles and signs, and required the trustees' written consent for any porch alteration or change of paint color. At the banks' insistence most easements were meant to last 40 years, generally until 1966.
“…we have copies of the easements for Blocks 154 and 155 (dated December 31, 1925)…”

According to the 2007 designation report, 39-10 and its neighbor 39-08 still had their historic windows and door surrounds, and they were the only houses in the row without a basement entry. The three-bay rear of 39-10, partly visible from 45th Street, mirrors its neighbor's, with a smaller four-over-four sash in the center bay. A non-historic enclosed porch had been added at the first floor, with a metal railing on the second-floor terrace.
