Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Two registered apartment buildings with 503 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 22.

| 1700 Finch Ave EToronto Community Housing | 275 | 18 | 1979 | 95 · Aug 2025 | 3 · 2 fire | 817 m |
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: 328 m away, ≈259 spaces; 344 m away, ≈3 spaces; 396 m away, ≈102 spaces; 439 m away, ≈45 spaces; 473 m away, ≈6 spaces; 494 m away, ≈18 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 11, 2024
The east leg carries the load — 15,566 westbound vehicles, or 36% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 3,364. Most cyclists arrived from the east (75 of 103). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,987 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,916 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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
The City's most recent midblock count on Gordon Baker Rd between Hwy 404 N and Harold Evans Cres (74 m away, Apr 2009) recorded volume only — about 9,979 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gordon Baker Rd · Hwy 404 N – Harold Evans Cres · 74 m | Apr 2009 · 3 days | 9,979 | — | — | — |
| Finch Ave E · Finch E – Hwy 404 N · 88 m | Oct 2011 · 3 days | 19,354 | — | — | — |
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
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Mar 3, 2016. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |

| All KSI since 2006 | 2 | latest Mar 3, 2016 |
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.
