Today

749 East 16th, 1957 East 3rd, 611 East 7th, 2195 West 15th, 3835 West 19th and 2616 Woodland Drive still have their buildings from before 1946; 4467 Blenheim (2012) and 646 East 44th (1984) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2037 East Broadway, 1517 Graveley, 2650 Oxford, 1675 Robson, 2104 West 5th, 1344 West 7th and 2605 West Broadway, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
