Initial analysis

The property at 1803 W 38 St in Austin's Rosedale neighborhood is a single-unit residence built in 1938, currently owned by Jeffrey Ewin and Karen Grace Diaz. The building's record over the past seven years reveals a concerning pattern of recent activity, with the most significant incident being a property abatement complaint filed in March 2025, which, while marked as "Priority 5" and ultimately closed, suggests some level of property maintenance concern. In addition, there was a related code enforcement request made to the Development Services Department in early March 2025, though both of these incidents are relatively recent and suggest some ongoing compliance monitoring. The property has generated multiple service requests, primarily related to waste management, including garbage collection in May 2024, storm debris collection in February 2023, and brush removal in July 2022, all of which were successfully resolved. An animal-related incident was recorded in March 2021, though details regarding its nature or resolution are not specified in the available data. The building's permit history shows only one permit issued in the past seven years, though the specific nature of this permit is not detailed in the records.

Risk rating

How 1803 W 38 St'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.
