    In its 2007 survey of Sunnyside Gardens, the Landmarks Preservation Commission recorded 51-20 39th Avenue, lot 37 on block 128, as a Type B Harrison Place row house with one-over-one vinyl windows and a non-historic door behind a grille. The historic door hood and surround remained, but now rested on non-historic metal columns, and the hood roof was painted green. Surveyors also noted a silver-painted metal stair bulkhead at the basement, a flagpole, a partly tarred parapet, and satellite dishes on the chimney and roof.

    “…historic door hood & surround supported by non-historic metal columns, hood roof is painted green; flagpole at 1st floor ... flue cap & satellite at chimney…”
