Deed easements binding this house's block to Sunnyside's shared-court plan are dated September 15
Sunnyside Gardens' common courts were created through covenants written into each deed and signed by buyers when they bought their lots. Most were to last 40 years, at the mortgage banks' insistence. Not every block's declaration has been found, but the Landmarks Preservation Commission located the one for Block 133, the block that holds Jefferson Court and this house, dated September 15, 1926.

No. 39-39, a type B house facing Jefferson Court's interior garden, was recorded in the 2007 designation survey with aluminum one-over-one windows, the historic door and door surround with a storm door, and a flagpole at the entrance. A light well with a plastic awning had been added at a basement window. At the rear, the first floor opened onto a metal deck and some brick had been replaced.
