Unlock complete reportThe property at 1509 Northwood Road, owned by William Meyer Smith and located in the Windsor Road neighborhood, is a single-unit garage apartment building constructed in 1936. Over the past seven years, the building has generated limited official activity, with only one building permit recorded during this period. However, the property has experienced a notable cluster of maintenance issues in recent months, particularly in June 2026, when there were multiple open service requests concerning park maintenance and plumbing problems. Specifically, there are two unresolved plumbing issues affecting both the building and grounds. Additionally, there are two other open service requests from June 2026 - one for sidewalk repair and another for an unspecified loose animal not identified as a dog, which has since been closed. Earlier in May 2026, two service requests were successfully resolved: one concerning pothole repair and another related to recycling services. While the building's official permit history remains minimal, the recent concentration of service requests in 2026 suggests increased maintenance activity in the immediate vicinity, primarily focusing on infrastructure and plumbing issues.

How 1509 Northwood Rd'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
