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

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, Mar 25, 2023 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,358 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 252 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,091 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,324 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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
The City's most recent midblock count on Finch Ave E between Skymark Dr and Finch E (78 m away, Mar 2021) recorded volume only — about 15,705 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Seneca Hill Dr (149 m away, 30 km/h limit), 35% of the 42,532 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |

| Finch Ave E · Skymark Dr – Finch E · 78 m | Mar 2021 · 3 days | 15,705 | — | — | — |

Seneca Hill Dr (southbound), 669 Seneca Hill Drive · 42,532 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
The worst year was 2016, with 19 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 11 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 14, 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 two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, all were fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt. The most recent was on Aug 19, 2016. Going back to 2006, the total is 6.

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.
