Today

4891 Beatrice, 1010 East 11th, 3590 Eton, 1906 Haro, 5870 Hudson and 2497 Wall still have their buildings from before 1946; 862 East 22nd (2014), 2219 East 39th (1987) and 46 East 47th (2015) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2219 East 34th, 1250 East 8th, 822 Howe, 2403 Stephens, 1836 Triumph, 153 West 13th and 1446 West 14th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
