Today

1216 East 22nd, 4556 Harriet, 2245 West 13th and 1545 West 14th still have their buildings from before 1946; 1780 East 34th (1966) and 834 East 57th (2003) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2213 Franklin, 1656 Grant, 1622 Nelson and 1238 Parker, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
