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 — 14-hour, Jun 19, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,014 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 1,188 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (165 of 357). Evening rush dominates here: 1,478 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:30 p.m., against 1,312 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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
On Seventh St between Morrison St and Lane S of Lake Shore and E of Seventh, 158 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2023 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 51 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. Islington Ave between Jerome Drayton Lane and Birmingham St measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Jun 2024).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seventh St · Morrison St – Lane S of Lake Shore and E of Seventh · 158 m | Jun 2023 · 3 days | 1,034 | 38 km/h | 47 km/h | 51 km/h |
| Islington Ave · Jerome Drayton Lane – Birmingham St · 167 m | Jun 2024 · 3 days | 7,827 | 32 km/h | 38 km/h | 40 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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

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. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jul 12, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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
