Today

3731 Dunbar, 855 East 11th, 216 East 16th and 348 East 19th still have their buildings from before 1946; 6357 Quebec (1983), 5107 Walden (1993) and 2850 West 1st (1981) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2891 Alma, 480 East 28th, 803 East 7th and 2037 Trafalgar, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
