As Sunnyside's garden easements lapse, Hamilton Court's owners alone agree to extend them
Read more
The deed easements that held Sunnyside Gardens' courts in common were drafted, at the lenders' insistence, to begin lapsing on January 1, 1966. As they ran out, owners elsewhere fenced off common land, built decks and porches onto their backs and cut driveways. Residents of Hamilton Court, where No. 39-39 stands, were the only ones who agreed to extend them, wanting to spare their courts from fenced plots, careless gardening and sheds.
“Residents of Hamilton Court were the only ones who agreed to extend the easements.”
