Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
37 registered apartment buildings with 3,340 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 19 of them social or Toronto Community Housing.

The City's RentSafeTO register — rental apartment buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units — with the score from each building's latest City evaluation (out of 100; poor scores trigger a full audit). 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, Jun 24, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 6,572 westbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 489. Most cyclists arrived from the west (1,020 of 2,111). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 993 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,071 from 5:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
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 Kensington Ave between Dundas St W and Fitzroy Ter (53 m away) recorded an average of 18 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 28 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kensington Ave · Dundas St W – Fitzroy Ter · 53 m | May 2023 · 3 days | 701 | 18 km/h | 28 km/h | 34 km/h |
| Dundas St W · Spadina Ave – Willison Pl · 105 m | Jan 2016 · 7 days | 6,557 | — | — | — |
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
2017 was the peak year (11 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 20% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 20% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 13, 2026.

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 Apr 23, 2014.
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 81 thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 14× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 45 in 2023–2025, about 15.0 a year, against 5.7 a year before that. 90% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 6 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 14, 2026.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 81 | 45 | 6 | street/outdoor (73), commercial premises (4) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 14, 2026. 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Kensington-Chinatown.
