39-58 44th Street anchors the western end of a 1927 Madison Court North row
39-58 44th Street is the westernmost of eight 1927 row houses whose fronts face north onto a shared garden in Madison Court North. Its two-bay side wall overlooks 43rd Street from above and behind the garages. By the time of the Landmarks Preservation Commission's survey, paired sliding windows filled the second-floor openings, one-over-one sash the first-floor ones, and a small double-hung window had taken the place of the historic wooden vent in the gable peak.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission's survey for the Sunnyside Gardens Historic District found the back of 39-58 44th Street reworked. An aluminum-sided dormer with three windows had been added to the roof, sliding doors filled an enlarged first-floor opening, and a large wood deck with a picket fence occupied the yard. On the front, the concrete stoop kept its historic metal railing, and an air conditioner on brackets sat beside a second-floor window.
