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, Dec 19, 2018
The north leg carries the load — 8,512 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 119. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,632 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,633 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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
The City's counter on Islington Ave between Fairway Rd and Orrell Ave (113 m away) recorded an average of 61 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 68 km/h. That segment carries about 25,300 vehicles a day. Orrell Ave between Perry Cres and Cedarland Dr measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Mar 2006). 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Islington Ave · Fairway Rd – Orrell Ave · 113 m | Nov 2018 · 24 h | 25,269 | 61 km/h | 68 km/h | 73 km/h |
| Orrell Ave · Perry Cres – Cedarland Dr · 198 m | Mar 2006 · 24 h | 393 | 37 km/h | 49 km/h | 105 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.
