Initial analysis

The property at 1704 Palma Plaza is a single-unit garage apartment located in the Old West Austin neighborhood, owned by Sarah Finley, and built in 1985. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a second-story addition and remodel with a new deck and awning completed in 2022, and a partial interior remodel including the installation of new exterior stairs in 2021, both of which received final approval. Of particular concern is a foundation repair permit issued in August 2022, which has since expired, though the extent and resolution of this work remain unclear. The building has approximately $3,000 in permit valuation over the past seven years, suggesting relatively modest improvements considering the scope of recent work.

Risk rating

How 1704 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

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
98thpercentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 5 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
