Architectural descriptions draw on LPC’s 1968 designation report. Current condition, legal occupancy and alteration approvals require an address-specific review. These profiles are historical research, not listings.
What LPC recorded
This five-house Italianate group continues the Root and Rust development recorded by LPC along the north side of 45th Avenue. The 1968 report described brick houses rising three stories over basements, with stucco at the basement level.
Read the details
The report recorded the removal of the stoop at 21-39 by 1968. That is a historical observation, not a statement about the present entrance or its approval status.
For a buyer, comparing the row can reveal useful questions: how does each entrance meet the sidewalk, and how does that arrangement connect to the interior? Similar façades do not establish identical layouts.
Questions to take to the showing
- Does the present entrance arrangement match the available approved drawings and completion records?
- How is each level accessed, and does documented legal use support the intended arrangement?
- What inspection is needed for exterior finishes, steps and areas where different materials meet?
These questions are a research starting point, not findings of a defect or assurance about the property. For the full sequence—from lawful use to insurance—see the buyer’s guide.
