39-34 44th Street rises in 1927 in a row with a brick chimney after every pair of houses
Built in 1927 as a type B house in Madison Court North, 39-34 44th Street belongs to a row of eight two-story-plus-attic houses facing a common garden court. The row's chimneys rise at each end and after every second house, its window sills are cast stone rather than projecting header brick, and soldier courses of brick run above the foundation and the large windows. Those big openings hold either projecting bays or flat three-part windows, and the doors have simple hoods.

The 2007 landmark report finds an extended stoop railing and a paved yard at 39-34 44th Street
The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2007 designation report recorded 39-34 44th Street with a brick and concrete stoop, cast-stone treads and a lengthened metal railing, and a low concrete curb around the front yard. The historic door surround remained, framing a newer door and aluminum storm door, and paired one-over-one windows sat in the three-part bay. In back, the basement had sliding windows and a new door, and the yard was laid with pavers and planting beds of concrete block.
