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, 2014
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 14,224 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 59% of the total, against 784 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,414 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,506 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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
On Cartwright Ave between Dufferin St and Jane Osler Blvd, 120 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2006 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Cartwright Avenue between Paul David St and Dufferin St.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cartwright Ave · Dufferin St – Jane Osler Blvd · 120 m | Mar 2006 · 24 h | 2,046 | 37 km/h | 45 km/h | 50 km/h |

Traffic calming
- Cartwright Avenue · Paul David St – Dufferin St
3 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.
