Today

3533 Mayfair, 2567 McGill, 2405 West 14th and 3633 West 7th still have their buildings from before 1946; 5583 Alma (2020), 642 Clark Drive (1962), 612 East 54th (1977), 1065 East 62nd (1969), 3290 West 39th (2015), 1676 West 58th (2002) and 745 West Broadway (1953) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 807 Hamilton, 126 Powell, 3474 Vanness, 2807 Wall, 1785 West 13th, 1155 West 64th and 52 West 6th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
