Madison Court's deed easements make the walks through some of its shared gardens permanent
The Declaration of Easements and Restrictions for Block 182, the Madison Court block that includes 39-78 44th Street, is dated May 2, 1927. Most Sunnyside covenants were written to last forty years, but a few were permanent, such as rights for utility lines and rules that kept light and air from being blocked. At Madison Court, the walks through some of the shared gardens were also placed under these permanent easements.
“At Madison Court, the sidewalks through some of the common gardens were also covered by the perpetual easements.”
