Overview of 47-20 42nd Street

47-20 42nd Street is a 1938 pre-war co-op with 59 apartments on six stories in Sunnyside. The building faces Thomas Noonan Playground from a tree lined block, giving many upper floor rooms open views of the park and surrounding greenery.

Apartment layouts retain generous pre-war proportions, with high ceilings, hardwood floors, defined foyers and substantial living areas. Windowed kitchens, separate dining space and ample closets recur, while multiple exposures bring eastern morning light or southern and western light to different parts of the building. Even the studio layouts have broad foyers and enough separation to divide sleeping and living areas.

The lobby retains Art Deco ornament, and the building has a laundry room, bicycle storage, general storage subject to a waitlist and a live-in superintendent. Pet policies are administered by the co-op and may include size or weight restrictions.

The 40th Street–Lowery Street station, served by the 7 train, is about a block away. The Sunnyside library is also one block from the building, while restaurants, cafés, supermarkets and neighborhood shops line the surrounding avenues.
