    December 31

    Lincoln Court's deed easements bar fences and awnings and require the trustees' consent for porch changes

    The Declaration of Easements and Restrictions for Blocks 154 and 155, which include 39-73 44th Street, is dated December 31, 1925. Although owners' lots ran to the middle of the block, Sunnyside's declarations kept that center open as shared space: no garages, fences, hedges, clothes lines, signs or awnings, and no change to porches or exterior paint colors without written approval from trustees. At the banks' insistence most of these rules ran for forty years, generally until 1966.

    “…we have copies of the easements for Blocks 154 and 155 (dated December 31, 1925)…”
