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.
Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
Nearest lots: 51 m away, ≈28 spaces; 61 m away, ≈114 spaces; 83 m away, ≈66 spaces; 92 m away, ≈44 spaces; 111 m away, ≈239 spaces; 120 m away, ≈63 spaces.
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, Jun 18, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 12,195 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 28% of the total, against 8,296 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,334 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,469 from 6:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years 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 Dufferin St between Wenderly Dr and Claver Ave, 286 m from the corner, a 3-day count in January 2026 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 52 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 29,100 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Dufferin St (164 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 42,892 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.

Dufferin St (southbound), West Side of Dufferin St, 48m South of Claver Ave · 42,892 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. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on May 4, 2008.
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
34 thefts from vehicles and 14 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 8.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 14, 2026.
