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 3, 2020
The west leg carries the load — 1,198 eastbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 89. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 452 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (401). Trucks and buses were 8.1% 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 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
The City's counter on Morningside Ave between Rambert Cres and Walkway S of Morningside and W of Easson (283 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 2,900 vehicles a day. Lavinia Ave between Morningside Ave and Deforest Rd measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Mar 2024). At the school-zone speed sign on Windermere Ave (154 m away, 30 km/h limit), 5.3% of the 132,378 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

| Lavinia Ave · Morningside Ave – Deforest Rd · 169 m | Mar 2024 · 3 days | 364 | 28 km/h | 38 km/h | 43 km/h |

Windermere Ave (southbound), 214 Windermere Avenue · 132,378 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.

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.
