Every establishment Toronto Public Health inspects under DineSafe, screened by name to leave out kitchens inside schools, care homes and offices. A conditional pass means infractions had to be fixed by a follow-up visit, not that the premises is closed.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
58 registered apartment buildings with 5,880 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 16 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 8 Beaconsfield Ave (256 m, 11 units, 4 storeys, built 1932), which scored 91 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 58 scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 137 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 26 fire-code violations are open across them.

The City's RentSafeTO register — rental apartment buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units — with the score from each building's latest City evaluation (out of 100; poor scores trigger a full audit). 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 — 8-hour, Oct 13, 2021
Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 399 vehicles entering from the east to 410 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (258 of 618). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 172 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 98% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (87). Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
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
The City's counter on Beaconsfield Ave between Lane N of Queen and E of Northcote and Lane S of Argyle and E of Northcote (157 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. Argyle St between Lane E of Gladstone and S of Argyle and Gladstone Ave measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 32 km/h (Dec 2021). The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Dufferin St (314 m away, 30 km/h limit), 38% of the 279,345 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

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
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Toronto Police place five thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 40% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through May 29, 2023. Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself.
