Today

3895 Quebec, 2420 West 45th and 2651 West 5th still have their buildings from before 1946; 4270 Blenheim (2016), 5107 Ruby (2001) and 5004 Rupert (2004) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1052 Barclay, 4612 Duchess, 1051 Howe and 715 Robson, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
