Apartment buildings nearby

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.
Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking

Nearest lots: 67 m away, ≈576 spaces; 85 m away, ≈35 spaces; 104 m away, ≈58 spaces; 122 m away, ≈221 spaces; 125 m away, ≈29 spaces; 177 m away, ≈6 spaces.
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, Jul 16, 2012
The north leg carries the load — 4,703 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 14. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,623 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 16% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,404). Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 14 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2012, 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 Yorkland Blvd between Smooth Rose Crt and Consumers Rd (363 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 2,900 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yorkland Rd · Herons Hill Way – Sheppard · 84 m | Apr 2013 · 3 days | 13,260 | — | — | — |
| Yorkland Blvd · Smooth Rose Crt – Consumers Rd · 363 m | Oct 2024 · 3 days | 2,924 | 30 km/h | 42 km/h | 48 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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
2024 was the peak year (9 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 5% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 17, 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
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 19 thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 2.7 a year before that. 63% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jan 15, 2026.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 19 | 4 | 1 | street/outdoor (12), apartment parking (6) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jan 15, 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Henry Farm.
