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, Jun 25, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,696 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 3 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (563 of 1,242). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 695 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 748 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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
On Fern Ave between Roncesvalles Ave and Sunnyside Ave, 93 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2024 put the average speed at 25 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 33 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 38 km/h or more. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Sunnyside Ave (194 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 58,140 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fern Ave · Roncesvalles Ave – Sunnyside Ave · 93 m | Oct 2024 · 3 days | 758 | 25 km/h | 33 km/h | 38 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 194 m
Sunnyside Ave (southbound), 178 Sunnyside Avenue · 58,140 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
The worst year was 2018, with 15 collisions; 2025 recorded 5. 4 collisions (6%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 15 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection.

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
One theft from a vehicle and seven bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 43% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 5, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Mar 5, 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.
