Today

3136 West 10th, 4155 West 10th and 970 West 19th still have their buildings from before 1946; 563 East 31st (2009), 496 East 49th (1967), 281 East 57th (1986), 5889 Lancaster (1982), 1745 West 16th (2000) and 3268 West 21st (1975) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 127 East 62nd, 973 Howe, 1295 West 10th and 52 West 8th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
