Today

4970 Blenheim, 1760 East 7th, 2414 Granville, 4470 Osler, 5007 Walden, 1045 West 11th, 2727 West 13th and 2992 West 27th still have their buildings from before 1946; 482 East 41st (2003) and 863 West 26th (1995) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 525 East 46th, 7266 Fraser, 1036 Haro, 1197 West 16th, 1467 West 47th and 1547 West 63rd, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
