Initial analysis

The property at 1611 Palma Plaza in Old West Austin is a single-unit building constructed in 1923, currently owned by Suzanne Franks. The building's record shows several significant events over the past seven years, with the most pressing concern being a land use violation complaint that was opened and subsequently closed in November 2025. In 2022, a building permit was issued for foundation stabilization work, including the installation of 16 steel piers and 60 feet of beam, though this permit has since expired. The property has generated multiple 311 service requests, primarily related to Austin Resource Recovery services such as garbage, recycling, and compost collection, along with two bulk waste requests. These service requests suggest regular municipal service usage, with the most recent activities occurring in mid-2026, including a pothole repair request to the Austin Transportation and Public Works Department. The relatively high number of service requests in 2026, totaling six in a short period, may indicate recent infrastructure or maintenance needs in the area surrounding the property, though most appear to be standard municipal service requests rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 1611 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.
