Today

2924 Alberta, 936 East 17th, 1632 East 21st, 4950 Marguerite, 3870 Ontario, 1386 West 13th and 249 West Broadway still have their buildings from before 1946; 1348 Barclay (1970), 3002 Grant (2020), 1636 Haro (1966), 3127 Parker (1967), 411 West 20th (2011), 1150 West 32nd (2011) and 2131 West 46th (1989) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 947 Howe, 989 Keefer, 3890 Laurel, 1110 Melville, 4784 Pine Crescent, 1165 Richards, 1533 Robson, 13 West Broadway, 247 West Broadway and 317 West Georgia, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred); for 8708 Yukon, its page says what we could and couldn't match to today's buildings.
