Today

7770 Cartier, 7505 Prince Edward, 4477 Walden, 3266 West 36th and 2175 West 46th still have their buildings from before 1946; 273 East 21st (1972) and 3585 West 34th (2016) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 8464 Cornish, 8484 Cornish, 8455 Granville, 1973 Haro and 1375 Laurier, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
