Today

336 East King Edward, 2620 Hemlock, 2076 Mannering, 2204 Victoria Drive, 4820 Victoria Drive and 14 West 6th still have their buildings from before 1946; 975 East 55th (1987), 55 East 5th (1971) and 4811 Inverness (1991) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 635 East 47th, 633 East 6th, 1028 Harwood, 1419 Nelson, 3221 Oak, 208 Union, 3537 West 3rd, 934 West 52nd and 1173 West Broadway, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
