Today

2295 West 1st still has its building from before 1946, dated 1930 by the City's record; 6351 Prince Albert (1983) and 1855 West 43rd (1994) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 849 East 10th, 1390 Granville, 790 Howe, 1039 Richards, 2142 West 38th and 827 West Broadway, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
