Today

2105 Ferndale, 2570 Hemlock, 174 West 11th and 3959 West 18th still have their buildings from before 1946; 3067 East 6th (1953) and 3022 Granville (1981) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1627 Davie, 1066 East Broadway, 2847 East Hastings, 1025 Haro, 1676 Haro, 1351 Harwood, 629 Richards, 412 West 23rd, 1833 West 2nd, 570 West Georgia and 1864 West Georgia, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
