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 2, 2024 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,513 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 32% of the total, against 3,880 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (192 of 384). Evening rush dominates here: 1,890 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 1,486 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% 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 Saturday, 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 Birchmount Rd between Danforth Rd and Sadler Dr, 128 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2022 put the average speed at 47 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,500 vehicles a day. Danforth Rd between Pilkington Dr and Birchmount Rd measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Feb 2020). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Danforth Rd (104 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 77,418 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.

| Birchmount Rd · Danforth Rd – Sadler Dr · 128 m | May 2022 · 3 days | 12,470 | 47 km/h | 54 km/h | 59 km/h |

School-zone speed sign 104 m
Danforth Rd (eastbound) · 77,418 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 3 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Nov 30, 2009.
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
Eight thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.0 a year. 75% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
By year

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Nov 16, 2024. 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.
