    43-10 48th Street stands on a slope within the Monroe Court group

    Monroe Court is a group of seven apartment buildings set around a shared garden court. The LPC's 2007 survey notes that 43-10 48th Street and its neighbor stand on a slope, so the first-floor windows of 43-10 line up with the basement-level windows of the building next door.

    “Because of the situation of this building and its neighbor (43-10 48th Street) on an incline, the first-floor windows of 43-10 are at the same level…”
