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, Sep 30, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 13,945 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 951 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (133 of 273). Evening rush dominates here: 3,073 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 2,507 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
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 Kingston Rd between Cliffside Dr and Leatherwood Gdns, 83 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2022 put the average speed at 47 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 56 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more. That segment carries about 21,200 vehicles a day. Claremore Ave between Sandown Lane and McIntosh St measured slower: 23 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 28 km/h (Jan 2025). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on East Haven Dr (197 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 35,314 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kingston Rd · Cliffside Dr – Leatherwood Gdns · 83 m | May 2022 · 3 days | 21,212 | 47 km/h | 56 km/h | 62 km/h |
| Claremore Ave · Sandown Lane – McIntosh St · 85 m | Jan 2025 · 3 days | 2,360 | 23 km/h | 28 km/h | 29 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 197 m
East Haven Dr (southbound), 34 East Haven Drive · 35,314 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 2017, with 14 collisions; 2025 recorded 4. 14 collisions (20%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 24, 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
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Sep 29, 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.
