Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
75 registered apartment buildings with 7,978 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 47 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.3× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 147 Queen St E (129 m, 76 units, 7 storeys, built 1900), which scored 95 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 75 scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 93 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 56 fire-code violations are 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 — 8-hour, Aug 13, 2013
The east leg carries the load — 8,119 westbound vehicles, or 91% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1. Most cyclists arrived from the east (212 of 426). Morning rush is the busier period: 1,641 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 1,124 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 13 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2013, 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 George St between Front St E and King St E (296 m away) recorded an average of 23 km/h in its 3-day count in December 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 3,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Richmond St E · Jarvis St – George St · 52 m | Oct 2007 · 3 days | 18,565 | — | — | — |
| George St · Front St E – King St E · 296 m | Dec 2018 · 3 days | 3,505 | 23 km/h | 34 km/h | 39 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.

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
Toronto Police place 24 thefts from vehicles and 15 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 6.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 3.9 a year. 79% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 53% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 24 | 5 | 0 | street/outdoor (19), apartment parking (3) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Nov 7, 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 Moss Park.
