Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 18 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,232 rental units — three social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 767 Dovercourt Rd (51 m, 19 units, 3 storeys, built 2008), which scored 94 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation.

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 — 8-hour, May 17, 2018
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,826 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 150 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (226 of 541). Evening rush dominates here: 905 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 777 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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 Northumberland St between Dovercourt Rd and Westmoreland Ave, 51 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2004 put the average speed at 24 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 35 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 42 km/h or more. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Northumberland St · Dovercourt Rd – Westmoreland Ave · 51 m | Apr 2004 · 3 days | 639 | 24 km/h | 35 km/h | 42 km/h |
| Dovercourt Rd · Bloor St W – Lane N of Bloor and W of Dovercourt · 97 m | Apr 2009 · 3 days | 5,775 | — | — | — |
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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 6 collisions. 6 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 18, 2026.

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 5, 2012.
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
Four thefts from vehicles and eight bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.4 a year before that. 38% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 4 | 1 | 0 | street/outdoor (1), house driveway/garage (1) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Aug 19, 2025. 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 Dovercourt Village.
