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, Nov 8, 2025 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 10,363 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 6,773 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 3,078 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 2,131 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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 Kipling Ave between Penlea Ave and Finch Ave W, 136 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2025 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,200 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Kipling Ave (322 m away, 50 km/h limit), 2.6% of the 305,959 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

Kipling Ave (southbound), 2546 Kipling Avenue · 305,959 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 122 collisions; 2025 recorded 79. 94 collisions (12%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 243 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 30% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 26 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 44 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 19, 2026.
By year
Exposure-adjusted: 24.8 collisions per year per 10,000 daily vehicles, using the latest 14-hour count.

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 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Oct 27, 2017. Going back to 2006, the total is 7. 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.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #1088 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 1 | #175 of 271 |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 7 | latest Oct 27, 2017 |
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 from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Apr 10, 2026. Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself.
