Northwest Hills, Austin TX 78731 0136010402 2 units · 1983

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The property at 6601 Hart Lane is a two-family dwelling owned by Chang Shu Chih E, located in the Northwest Hills neighborhood and constructed in 1983. The building's recent history, spanning 2025-2026, shows increased activity with multiple service requests, particularly in May 2026 when there were five separate incidents reported, including utility complaints, other miscellaneous issues, and infrastructure concerns such as sidewalk repair and parking violations. The property has demonstrated a pattern of parking enforcement needs, with two parking violation requests recorded (one in May 2026 and another in December 2025). A utility-related service request was also filed in May 2026, which may indicate some community infrastructure concerns. While all reported issues have been marked as closed, the concentration of service requests in a short period suggests there might be ongoing monitoring of certain aspects related to the property's location and infrastructure. The building's overall age of 40 years is typical for its category, and the recorded service requests primarily pertain to municipal services rather than internal building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 6601 Hart Ln'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.
