Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Three registered apartment buildings with 364 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 23. The nearest is 5600 Sheppard Ave E (252 m, 120 units, 10 storeys, built 1970), which scored 94 out of 100 at its October 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation.

The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 16 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 1 fire-code violation is open across them.

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 — 14-hour, May 14, 2024
The north leg carries the load — 18,691 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 482. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,222 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (2,945). Trucks and buses were 9.5% 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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
The City's counter on Markham Rd between Ormerod St and Verne Cres (55 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 44,700 vehicles a day. Ormerod St between Markham Rd and Verne Cres measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Jul 2014).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Markham Rd · Ormerod St – Verne Cres · 55 m | Jun 2026 · 3 days | 44,663 | 45 km/h | 57 km/h | 63 km/h |
| Ormerod St · Markham Rd – Verne Cres · 87 m | Jul 2014 · 24 h | 1,686 | 41 km/h | 49 km/h | 56 km/h |
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
2018 was the peak year (15 collisions), and 2025 closed with 8. 11% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
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

Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Apr 10, 2026.

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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Malvern West.
