Today

4364 Quebec, 2109 Trafalgar, 2890 Trinity, 2380 Victoria Drive, 1925 West 10th and 22 West 23rd still have their buildings from before 1946; 2052 East 23rd (2006), 2565 Franklin (1981) and 805 West Broadway (1972) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 296 Keefer, 945 Kingsway, 604 West 12th and 3282 West Broadway, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
