Today

1842 Charles, 1536 Victoria Drive and 3870 West 11th still have their buildings from before 1946; 2376 East 3rd (1998) and 511 West 65th (1989) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 54 East 6th, 3740 Knight, 752 Richards, 30 Water, 979 West 16th, 1917 West 3rd, 1283 West Broadway and 2607 West Broadway, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
