Unlock complete reportThe 100-unit apartment building at 1600 E 3rd Street, owned by the Housing Authority Of Austin in the East Cesar Chavez neighborhood, has experienced significant activity over recent years since its 2024 completion. The property has generated substantial permit activity, with 67 building permits totaling $200 million in valuation over the past seven years, including recent installations of solar electric systems on multiple buildings in 2025 and an ongoing convenience store interior finish-out in 2026. However, there are concerning patterns in recent months, particularly in 2026, with multiple active and pending code complaints related to structure condition violations and property abatement issues, including several similar complaints from April to June 2026 that have drawn attention from the Austin Development Services department. The building's history includes two significant demolition permits from August 2021 for total demolition of apartment units, though these permits have since expired. The property has also generated 112 311 service requests in the past seven years, with the most recent service requests in 2026 primarily relating to code enforcement and animal control issues, including multiple reports of dog restraint problems in June 2026.

How 1600 E 3 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.
Out of 118 buildings in this neighborhood, 114 are predicted to be safer.
