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, Mar 10, 2020
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,273 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 963 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,600 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,722 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 13.5% 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 2020, 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 Lawrence Ave W between Duckworth St and Martini Dr, 365 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2026 put the average speed at 47 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 60 km/h or more. That segment carries about 15,700 vehicles a day. Brookhaven Dr between Nordale Cres and Fox Point measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Apr 2019). At the school-zone speed sign on Duckworth St (312 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.4% of the 23,510 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Brookhaven Drive between Lawrence Ave W and Trethewey Dr.

5 speed humps
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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Apr 16, 2013.
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
One theft from a vehicle and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Sep 11, 2023. 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.
