Initial analysis

The property at 2506 Stratford Drive is a single-unit garage apartment built in 1998, currently owned by Frank Ford Smith Jr. and his associates. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a total of seven service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent incident involving a parking violation enforcement request in February 2026. Notably, two separate fireworks-related complaints were filed with the Austin Fire Department in January 2025, with one being marked as a duplicate. The property has also experienced two service requests related to the Austin Resource Recovery department in 2023, including a dead animal collection in June and a compost-related service in March. Additionally, there was a vehicle abatement report filed with the Austin Police Department in January 2025. While the number of service requests is relatively low for a seven-year period, the nature of some incidents, particularly the fireworks complaints, suggests occasional disturbances in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 2506 Stratford Dr'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

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

Grade C — Moderate risk

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

Grade D–F — High risk

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