Only a couple pockets these days. These hutongs are not exactly pristine homes to begin with. Many have been subdivided over the years and plumbing is sporadic. Residents need to use local communal bathrooms. Some have been revitalized and turned into commercial use, but far more have turned to slums and have been razed and redeveloped.
