Initial analysis

The two-family dwelling at 1210 1/2 W 8th Street in Old West Austin is a 1930-built property owned by Tillie Faye Katz. The most significant cluster of recent activity on record occurred in March-April 2026, when the property generated five separate service requests within a two-month period, primarily related to waste management issues including two garbage-related complaints. During this period, there were also notable infrastructure concerns, including requests for curb/gutter repair and work zone management, as well as an interaction with the Development Services Department that warranted a code officer's involvement. While all service requests have been marked as closed, the concentration of issues in early 2026 suggests there may have been an extended period of maintenance or compliance challenges during that time frame. Additionally, a subsequent service request regarding standing water was filed in May 2026, indicating possible ongoing infrastructure or drainage concerns in the vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 1210 1/2 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

Typical — about average for the neighborhood
