The block's deed restrictions are dated May 2, keeping the shared garden free of fences, hedges and new paint colors
The Declaration of Easements and Restrictions for tax block 182, which includes 39-82 44th Street, is dated May 2, 1927. Under Sunnyside's declarations, owners could not put up garages, fences, hedges, clothesline or radio poles, signs or awnings, nor alter porches or repaint a house in a new color, without written permission from the court's trustees. Although each owner held a lot running to the middle of the block, the rules kept the shared central garden open to all residents.
