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 Smithers Family Partnership owns this 5-unit, 1982 multi-family apartment building located at 1214 Baylor St in Old West Austin. The property has experienced minimal permitted improvements over the past seven years, with three building permits on record, including one related to window replacements in May 2024 that was ultimately withdrawn. The building has generated six parking violation enforcement requests in May 2026, suggesting a cluster of parking-related issues in that month, with all being resolved by the Austin Transportation and Public Works department. While the parking violations indicate some level of ongoing neighborhood concern, there are no reported safety issues or infrastructure concerns in the available records, and the building's permit history shows relatively little construction activity, maintaining its original 1982 structure with only minor proposed updates.

Risk rating

How 1214 Baylor 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.
