Initial analysis

The property at 1206 Cotton St in Central East Austin, owned by Paul Stables, is a recently constructed two-family dwelling built in 2022 following the demolition of two previous structures on the site: a 1938 single-family residence (1,575 sq. ft.) and a 2001 garage apartment (515 sq. ft.). The new construction, which received an expedited review and includes a two-story duplex with 6 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and an attached garage, was properly permitted and completed, with all associated building permits (including for a new detached two-car carport) receiving final approval.

Risk rating

How 1206 Cotton 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

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.
