Today

1410 East 10th, 5611 Olympic, 2076 Turner, 1190 West 12th, 3974 West 17th and 3473 West 1st still have their buildings from before 1946; 2872 Charles (1995), 2115 East 43rd (1990), 2869 East 43rd (1962), 366 East 49th (1970) and 465 East 63rd (1977) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 506 East 46th, 746 Hamilton, 1236 Howe, 762 Richards, 249 Smithe, 2057 West 5th and 1133 West Georgia, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred); for 1250 Granville, its page says what we could and couldn't match to today's buildings.
