LTB orders are final Landlord and Tenant Board orders naming the address (Jan 2026 – Jun 2026); fire-code violations are open items in Toronto Fire Services' inspection data. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 14, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 1,443 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 37% of the total, against 8 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the west (706 of 1,139). Evening rush dominates here: 399 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:45 p.m., against 350 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
How fast traffic moves here
Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming
On Adelaide St W between Lane W of Tecumseth and S of Adelaide and Niagara St, 103 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2018 put the average speed at 29 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 40 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,300 vehicles a day. Niagara St between Stanley Ave and Adelaide St W measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Sep 2025). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Adelaide Street West between Niagara St and Tecumseth St.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Niagara St · Stanley Ave – Adelaide St W · 40 m | Sep 2025 · 14 days | 3,432 | 27 km/h | 35 km/h | 40 km/h |

Traffic calming
- Adelaide Street West · Niagara St – Tecumseth St
4 speed humps
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
