You are right: 39 & 47 Plaza are the only two pre-war bldgs by Candela in Brooklyn, both for the same developer, Jacob Mark. 39 was built first, in 1926. 47 Plaza was completed in Nov 1928.
Candela's practice was devastated by the depression and he later built a variety of other bldgs in Brooklyn after WW II, including the complex at Concord Village near the Brooklyn Bridge. He was also one of the architects who designed the Fort Greene Houses projects.
