There is no helipad at 39th Street.

In Manhattan, there is one just below 34th Street on the East Side, one at
30th Street on the West side, and one in the Financial District at Pier 6.

These are the only public heliports in existence for Manhattan.

If you land at E39th and the River you will be sitting on a Power Station.
