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, Oct 28, 2025

The north leg carries the load — 13,134 southbound vehicles, or 33% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 6,099. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,604 vehicles in the hour from 3:00 p.m., 25% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (2,884). Trucks and buses were 9.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Kipling Ave between Belfield Rd and Namco Rd (76 m away, Sep 2014) recorded volume only — about 16,384 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kipling Ave · Belfield Rd – Namco Rd · 76 mSep 2014 · 3 days16,384
Belfield Rd · Kipling Ave – Shaft Rd · 111 mApr 2013 · 3 days21,274

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.
