Today

1065 Bute, 1086 Bute, 3591 Dunbar and 1646 West 10th still have their buildings from before 1946; 3334 Adanac (1964), 3161 East Broadway (1983), 5349 Inverness (1974), 3475 West 23rd (2003), 1334 West 59th (1977) and 2565 William (1997) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1190 Matthews, 1100 Powell and 2055 West 49th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
