Initial analysis

The 26-unit apartment building at 1211 W 8th Street in Old West Austin, constructed in 1972 and currently owned by Waterloo Mfh Group Llc, has experienced a concerning pattern of structural issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple recent complaints regarding structure conditions, with four such complaints recorded in July 2025 alone, and two that remain active or pending as of mid-2026. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to improvements, including a permitted re-roofing project completed in late 2020, though applications for window and door replacements on multiple floors from early 2020 are listed as expired without indication of completion. The property has also generated 26 service requests through the 311 system in the past seven years, with several recent requests in 2026 specifically related to code enforcement matters.

Risk rating

How 1211 W 8 St'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.
