Today

2119 East 29th, 719 East Pender, 975 West 10th, 1934 West 5th and 2026 West 63rd still have their buildings from before 1946; 1055 Denman (1970), 7333 Laburnum (1991), 4577 West 14th (2008) and 3760 West 17th (2014) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1210 Harwood, 947 Howe, 6330 Lanark, 1755 Powell, 3062 West 41st and 839 West 68th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
