Initial analysis

The 5-unit apartment building at 1515 Palma Plaza, owned by Triple Play Properties Ltd, has been in operation since 1972 in the Old West Austin neighborhood. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a relatively modest number of 311 service requests, totaling ten reports. The most recent cluster of service requests occurred in Spring 2026, with five reports between March and May of that year. This period saw recurring issues with garbage services, including two separate reports in May and a dead animal collection request in March. There were also two parking violation enforcement requests in May and March 2026, indicating ongoing concerns with parking compliance in the vicinity. A traffic signal maintenance request was submitted in March 2026 but was marked as a duplicate and subsequently closed without action. The service request record, while not extensive, does show some recurring themes in the recent past, particularly regarding waste management and parking enforcement matters.

Risk rating

How 1515 Palma Plaza'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.
