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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, May 26, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 17,485 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 158. Most cyclists arrived from the north (122 of 250). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,196 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,164 from 5:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.4% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.

The City's most recent midblock count on Yonge St between Hendon Ave and Olympic Garden Dr (289 m away, Sep 2014) recorded volume only — about 24,512 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Drewry Ave (379 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.3% of the 29,345 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
