Initial analysis

The 3508 E 17 St property is a two-family dwelling located in the MLK neighborhood, constructed in 1945 and currently owned by Audrey M Steiner. The building's documented history over the past seven years reveals relatively few incidents, with only one code complaint filed in September 2025 regarding property abatement, which was subsequently closed. The property has generated seven 311 service requests during this period, with the most recent activity occurring in September 2025 related to code enforcement. Other service requests include various municipal matters such as bulk waste collection (August 2025), water-related issues (October 2024), a parking violation enforcement request (September 2024), and a non-emergency collision involving the Austin Police Department (June 2024). Earlier incidents included a dead animal collection request (April 2024). While the number of service requests is notable, they primarily relate to routine municipal services rather than serious building or safety concerns, with no recorded pattern of recurring issues.

Risk rating

How 3508 E 17 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.
