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 10, 2024 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 9,689 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 35% of the total, against 4,046 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,734 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:30 p.m., against 1,884 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 months 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 St Clair Ave E between Birchmount Rd and North Woodrow Blvd, 186 m from the corner, a 2-day count in September 2019 put the average speed at 64 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 72 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 78 km/h or more. That segment carries about 27,100 vehicles a day. Birchmount Rd between St. Clair Ravine Trl and Willowmount Dr measured slower: 58 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 67 km/h (Jul 2023). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| St Clair Ave E · Birchmount Rd – North Woodrow Blvd · 186 m | Sep 2019 · 2 days | 27,078 | 64 km/h | 72 km/h | 78 km/h |
| Birchmount Rd · St. Clair Ravine Trl – Willowmount Dr · 214 m | Jul 2023 · 7 days | 14,782 | 58 km/h | 67 km/h | 73 km/h |
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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
The worst year was 2019, with 51 collisions; 2025 recorded 37. 59 collisions (18%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 42 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 12 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 17 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 3, 2026.
By year
Exposure-adjusted: 11.7 collisions per year per 10,000 daily vehicles, using the latest 14-hour count.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jun 20, 2019. The police all-collisions file records 2 fatal collisions here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places them just outside the 65 m radius.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #1356 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 1 | #779 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 1 | latest Jun 20, 2019 |
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.
