Initial analysis

The property at 1813 W 8 St in Old West Austin is a single-unit residential building constructed in 2005, featuring an additional living quarter improvement, currently owned by Kenneth M. and Meredith B. Levins. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows consistent municipal engagement, with a total of four building permits and four 311 service requests on record. The most notable pattern in the service requests involves the Austin Resource Recovery department, which has recorded five compost-related service requests between September 2023 and November 2025, indicating regular participation in the city's composting program. Additionally, there was one garbage-related service request in August 2024 and one "other" request to the Command Center in September 2024, both of which have been successfully resolved. While the frequency of compost service requests suggests active waste management participation, the relatively standard nature of these requests, along with the fact that all issues have been closed, points to generally routine building maintenance needs typical for an established residential property.

Risk rating

How 1813 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

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.
