Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there is one RentSafeTO-registered apartment building — 60 rental units. The nearest is 800 Royal York Rd (1.0 km, 60 units, 6 storeys, built 1965), which scored 91 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation.

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, May 22, 2019
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 9,584 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 40% of the total, against 2,665 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 3,584 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 3,318 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 9.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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
On Islington Ave between Saybrook Ave and Six Point Rd, 280 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2010 put the average speed at 54 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 63 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 10,600 vehicles a day. Norseman St between Gladfern Rd and Lothian Ave measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 50 km/h (Apr 2019). The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Norseman St (135 m away, 30 km/h limit), 39% of the 17,409 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

| Norseman St · Gladfern Rd – Lothian Ave · 240 m | Apr 2019 · 2 days | 8,685 | 43 km/h | 50 km/h | 55 km/h |
| Islington Ave · Saybrook Ave – Six Point Rd · 280 m | Mar 2010 · 24 h | 10,575 | 54 km/h | 63 km/h | 68 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 135 m
Norseman St (eastbound), 112 Norseman Street · 17,409 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 14 collisions; 2025 recorded 11. 22 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 19 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 18, 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
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.
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
