Initial analysis

The property at 6502 Shadow Valley Dr in Northwest Hills is a two-unit residential building owned by Wu Shengkai, constructed in 1970. Over the past seven years, the building has experienced several significant events, most notably three property abatement complaints and one land use violation, all of which have been closed but warrant attention given their nature. The most recent activity in 2026 includes complaints about property conditions and a coyote-related animal protection issue, along with a wildfire education request from the Austin Fire Department. The development services department has been called to the property multiple times, with two separate requests for code officer inspections in 2025 and 2026. The property has also engaged with Austin Resource Recovery's compost services twice in April 2025. While all recorded incidents have been closed, the pattern of property-related complaints and violations suggests ongoing regulatory oversight has been required for this building.

Risk rating

How 6502 Shadow Valley Dr'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.
