Initial analysis

The property at 1906 W 42nd Street in the Rosedale neighborhood is a single-unit garage apartment owned by Peggy Jean Mueller, constructed in 2004. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows minimal issues or incidents affecting resident safety or comfort, with only ten recorded 311 service requests. The most notable cluster of activity occurred in May 2025, when there were three separate requests for bulk pickup services, along with a compost service request on May 2nd and another compost request on July 12th. Additionally, there was one general inquiry directed to the 311 Command Center on May 6th. All reported service requests have been resolved and marked as closed, suggesting that the building has maintained compliance with municipal service requirements and that waste management services have been regularly used by the current occupants. The property's relatively low number of service requests compared to the monitoring period indicates stable building conditions, with no recorded pattern of recurring issues or complaints.

Risk rating

How 1906 W 42 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.
