Sunnyside's garden easements begin to lapse, and only Hamilton Court's owners extend theirs
Read more
Sunnyside's easements began lapsing on January 1, 1966, as the original mortgage banks had required; a 1956 attempt by the United Trustees to have owners extend them voluntarily had failed. Across the development, owners then fenced off shared greens, added decks and cut driveways. Hamilton Court, where 39-63 46th Street stands, was the one court whose residents agreed to keep the easements, to stop their courts turning into a patchwork of fenced plots and sheds.
“Residents of Hamilton Court were the only ones who agreed to extend the easements.”
