Initial analysis

The property at 1816 Ashby Avenue is a single-unit residential building located in the Zilker neighborhood, constructed in 1960 and currently owned by Melissa Jackson and a co-owner. The building has undergone recent significant improvements, most notably a September 2025 project that involved an interior remodel and facade transformation, replacing limestone with stucco over approximately 320 square feet, and remodeling the front patio overhang into a vaulted space, with structural engineering support. The property's recent history shows relatively high activity levels between May and June 2026, with five service requests filed in a short period. These requests included two instances of code officer interventions, outdoor commercial venue music complaints, a parking violation enforcement request, and reports concerning an obstruction in the right-of-way and alley/unpaved street maintenance issues, all of which have been resolved. While the building's improvement project and recent service requests indicate active property management and responsiveness to neighborhood concerns, the concentration of service requests in mid-2026 may reflect either heightened neighborhood activity or various ongoing community issues during that period.

Risk rating

How 1816 Ashby Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Austin Code enforcement data — code violations, complaint history, Repeat Offender Program activity, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that Austin Code will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

Austin Code rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. Austin Code has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
