Easements dated December 31, 1925 bind the Lincoln Court block that holds 39-46 45th Street
The declaration of easements for Block 155, the Lincoln Court block where 39-46 45th Street stands on lot 82, is dated December 31, 1925. Each buyer signed these covenants when purchasing a house. Because the mortgage banks insisted, most of the restrictions were written to expire after forty years, generally in 1966, though a few, such as keeping setbacks clear so light and air reached every home, were made permanent.
“…we have copies of the easements for Blocks 154 and 155 (dated December 31, 1925)…”
