Today

1091 Broughton, 4153 West 11th and 3825 West 36th still have their buildings from before 1946; 8644 Montcalm (1958), 5992 Trafalgar (1993), 3001 West 2nd (1991) and 1455 West 46th (2013) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 3807 Blenheim, 1346 East 11th, 551 East 6th and 1922 West 43rd, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
