Every establishment Toronto Public Health inspects under DineSafe, screened by name to leave out kitchens inside schools, care homes and offices. A conditional pass means infractions had to be fixed by a follow-up visit, not that the premises is closed.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Seven registered apartment buildings with 915 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 22. The nearest is 3001 Finch Ave W (80 m, 166 units, 14 storeys, built 1993), which scored 95 out of 100 at its October 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 95, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 8 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 2 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.
Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking

Nearest lots: 88 m away, ≈112 spaces; 122 m away, ≈80 spaces; 125 m away, ≈2 spaces; 148 m away, ≈609 spaces; 152 m away, ≈2 spaces; 158 m away, ≈9 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, Nov 8, 2025 (a weekend day)
The west leg carries the load — 8,769 eastbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 962. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,852 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 47% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,258). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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 Pearldale Ave between Topeka Rd and Duncanwoods Dr (294 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2006; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 3,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Pearldale Ave (181 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 45,174 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |

School-zone speed sign 181 m
Pearldale Ave (southbound), 43 Pearldale Avenue · 45,174 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
2020 was the peak year (18 collisions), and 2025 closed with 9. 20% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 29 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%.

The most recent report on file is from Mar 1, 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
Of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, two were fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. 2 of the 3 happened in darkness — 67%, above the citywide 39%. 2018 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Feb 25, 2019. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 3 | #53 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 2 | #12 of 319 |
| Involving a pedestrian | 2 | #49 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 2 | 67% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 4 | latest Feb 25, 2019 |
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 13 thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 14, 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.
