Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
38 registered apartment buildings with 2,269 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, seven of them social or Toronto Community Housing.

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, Nov 12, 2012
The east leg carries the load — 1,113 westbound vehicles, or 60% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 748. Most cyclists arrived from the east (197 of 433). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 323 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 16% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (278). Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 14 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2012, 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 Delaware Ave between College St and Dewson St (148 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. Dewson St between Ossington Ave and Concord Ave measured slower: 23 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 30 km/h (Sep 2025). The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Concord Ave (219 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 32,260 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delaware Ave · College St – Dewson St · 148 m | May 2017 · 3 days | 492 | 32 km/h | 42 km/h | 49 km/h |
| Dewson St · Ossington Ave – Concord Ave · 158 m | Sep 2025 · 3 days | 1,707 | 23 km/h | 30 km/h | 34 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 219 m
Concord Ave (northbound), 31 Concord Avenue · 32,260 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.

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 eight thefts from vehicles and eight bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 2.1 a year before that. 63% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages; 75% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 8 | 1 | 0 | house driveway/garage (5), street/outdoor (2) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jul 19, 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.
