Today

4074 West 19th and 3108 West 37th still have their buildings from before 1946; 943 East 63rd (2016), 283 West 63rd (1959) and 2080 Whyte (1990) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 445 Abbott, 620 Hamilton and 2905 Quebec, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
