Washington Court's easement declaration, covering 39-14 46th Street's block, is dated December 31, 1925
39-14 46th Street lies on tax block 154, Washington Court, one of the two blocks whose Sunnyside easement declarations are dated December 31, 1925. The rules kept the center of the block as shared open space, banning fences, hedges, clothes lines and radio poles, and requiring trustees' consent to change porches or exterior paint colors. Banks granting the mortgages insisted the easements be temporary, so most were set to last 40 years.
“…we have copies of the easements for Blocks 154 and 155 (dated December 31, 1925)…”

The 2007 designation report describes 39-14 as a type A' row house whose original sash had given way to single-pane aluminum casement or sliding windows. Its brick had been painted, and its porch was filled in with non-historic brown-painted wood with altered openings. The survey also listed through-wall air conditioners at both floors, a non-historic wood door, a brick stoop and a historic bluestone path to the basement.
