Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 17 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,758 rental units — six social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 800 Lansdowne Ave (312 m, 138 units, 4 storeys, built 1992), which scored 82 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 85, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 47 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 3 fire-code violations are open across them.

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 — 8-hour, Jun 8, 2006
Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 82 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 26% above the afternoon peak from 4:45 p.m. (65). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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 Armstrong Ave between Lane W of Dufferin and N of Wallace and Lane E of Emerson and S of Armstrong, 224 m from the corner, a 3-day count in December 2018 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day. Emerson Ave between Paton Rd and Wallace Ave measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Mar 2024). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Emerson Ave · Paton Rd – Wallace Ave · 200 m | Mar 2024 · 3 days | 287 | 25 km/h | 33 km/h | 37 km/h |
| Armstrong Ave · Lane W of Dufferin and N of Wallace – Lane E of Emerson and S of Armstrong · 224 m | Dec 2018 · 3 days | 392 | 44 km/h | 58 km/h | 68 km/h |
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
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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
23 thefts from vehicles and three bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 4.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 3.6 a year before that. 61% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 23 | 1 | 0 | street/outdoor (14), house driveway/garage (7) |
| Bicycle theft | 3 | 0 | 0 | other (2), apartment parking (1) |
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Dec 29, 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Junction-Wallace Emerson.
