City Housing Corporation begins Hamilton Court, home of 39-71, as Sunnyside's second block
No. 39-71 belongs to Hamilton Court, the second block the City Housing Corporation developed at Sunnyside Gardens after Colonial Court. Work started in the spring of 1925 on three-family and single-family houses meant for 225 families, and the court was ready by the end of that summer. Like the first block, whose houses had been snapped up, Hamilton Court sold well.

No. 39-71's porch is sided in vinyl and its parapet partly rebuilt
The 2007 Landmarks Preservation Commission survey found the enclosed porch of 39-71 covered in non-historic vinyl siding, with its roof extended into an awning. The parapet had been repointed and partly reconstructed, the aluminum windows carry snap-in grids imitating six-over-six sash, and about two-thirds of the yard behind its low brick wall was paved.
