Initial analysis

The property at 1621 Waterston Ave, located in the Old West Austin neighborhood, is a single-unit garage apartment built in 1933 and currently owned by Darrell G Blandford. The building's recent activity from 2026 shows consistent engagement with Austin Resource Recovery services, with seven closed service requests between February and May of 2026, all related to waste management and recycling services. These requests include five bulk waste pickups, one composting service, and one recycling service, indicating regular use of city-maintained waste disposal and recycling services by the resident or property owner. This pattern suggests a proactive approach to environmental responsibility and waste management, though the frequency of bulk waste requests could indicate periodic decluttering or maintenance activities. While the building has had 47 total service requests logged in the past seven years, the majority of recent activity pertains solely to waste management services, with no reported safety or maintenance concerns noted in the available data.

Risk rating

How 1621 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.
