Today

976 East 20th, 4355 John, 885 Lillooet and 2951 West 29th still have their buildings from before 1946; 2448 Oxford (1981), 3492 West 36th (2019) and 2210 West 40th (1986) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 751 Dunsmuir, 1004 Pendrell, 1973 Robson, 3200 Wall and 1135 West 8th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
