39-24 44th Street ends its 1927 row with a side wall rising over the 43rd Street garages
The last of eight Madison North court houses in its 1927 row, 39-24 turns a two-bay side wall toward 43rd Street, standing above and behind a row of garages. There are no windows on that wall's second floor, only a white-painted wood vent near the peak of the gable, and a brick chimney climbs from the low southern edge of the roof. The ground-floor openings, first fitted with six-over-six sash, now hold one-over-one windows.

The 2007 historic district designation report described 39-24 as a type B' house with vinyl windows and a non-historic wood door behind an aluminum storm door, reached by a concrete stoop that still had its historic metal railing. It noted two dryer vents under the tripartite front window, pavers and a metal gate in the front areaway, and staining from graffiti on the side wall facing 43rd Street. Its fully paved back yard, a raised brick and concrete patio, shares a chain-link fence with 39-22.
