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, Apr 5, 2001
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,837 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 291 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,252 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,019 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 8.4% 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 25 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2001, 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 Morse St between Lane N of Eastern and E of Logan and Lane S of Queen and E of Logan, 157 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2018 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 51 km/h or more. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Carlaw Ave (104 m away, 30 km/h limit), 20% of the 96,853 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |

| Queen St E · Morse St – Verral Ave · 20 m | Jun 2013 · 24 h | 7,544 | — | — | — |

Carlaw Ave (southbound), 180 Carlaw Avenue · 96,853 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

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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
Six thefts from vehicles and five bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 1.4 a year before that. 50% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 40% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 30, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through May 30, 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.
