Initial analysis

The property at 609 Barton Blvd in the Zilker neighborhood, owned by Ward Jeffrey Randle, is a garage apartment structure with a single unit, though its construction year is listed as 0 in the records. Over the past seven years, the building has had limited permitted work, with a building permit issued in June 2025 for window replacement, though this permit has since expired. The most notable recent activity involves a cluster of municipal service requests in May 2026, including two parking violation enforcement cases and a traffic signal modification request, all of which were resolved by Austin Transportation and Public Works. Additionally, there was one environmental health services request through Austin Public Health and a dead animal collection request through Austin Resource Recovery, both closed without indication of ongoing issues. Earlier in 2026, a short-term rental complaint was filed with Austin Development Services, which has also been resolved. While the number of service requests in 2026 may seem significant, they primarily relate to municipal services and infrastructure rather than building-specific issues, with the sole exception being the short-term rental complaint.

Risk rating

How 609 Barton Blvd'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.
