Today

2540 Graveley and 3287 West 21st still have their buildings from before 1946; 39 East 50th (2001), 2657 Grant (1988), 3309 West 13th (1996) and 2377 West 5th (1956) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 980 Denman, 1322 East 41st, 258 East 50th, 1058 Harwood, 207 West 20th and 3242 West 6th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
