Initial analysis

The property at 1040 Springdale Rd is a two-unit residential building located in the MLK neighborhood, constructed in 1950 and currently owned by Stephen McNally. Over the past seven years, the building has experienced several notable issues, with the most concerning being multiple land use violations in mid-2024 and a property abatement case in May 2024, all of which have since been closed. The building's record shows a pattern of garbage-related service requests, particularly within 2025, with three separate incidents reported to Austin Resource Recovery between May and June of that year. In 2026, there were also service requests related to animal protection (loose dog) and a code officer request, both of which have been resolved. While the majority of these issues have been addressed and closed, the frequency of garbage-related incidents and recent land use violations suggest attention may be required to maintain optimal living conditions. The building has two registered code violations on record, though the specific nature and resolution of these violations are not detailed in the available data.

Risk rating

How 1040 Springdale Rd'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.
