Initial analysis

The two-family dwelling at 1715 Waterston Avenue in Old West Austin, owned by Guy R. Lipof and Sue E. Wilson, has been experiencing a notably active spring and early summer period in 2026, with multiple service requests recorded across various city departments. The most recent service request, filed on June 12, 2026, involves recycling services and remains open as of this report. The building has faced several municipal service issues in recent months, including a construction concern in the right-of-way (closed), and multiple public works and environmental matters including road marking maintenance (closed), garbage services (closed), and a dead animal collection (closed) - all indicating routine infrastructure and maintenance needs in the immediate area. Of particular note for resident safety and community welfare were two animal-related incidents in May 2026, one involving an animal trapped in a storm drain, though this issue was subsequently resolved. While the building remains operational and has addressed most community service needs through the appropriate channels, the frequency and variety of service requests in 2026 suggest heightened activity levels around this property, particularly regarding public works and animal-related issues.

Risk rating

How 1715 Waterston Ave'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.

Neighborhood percentile
50thpercentile
