Initial analysis

The two-family dwelling at 5504 Samuel Huston Ave, owned by Amber R McCullough, was constructed in 1984 in the MLK-183 neighborhood. The property has experienced a notable pattern of animal-related incidents in recent months, particularly between March and June 2026, with a total of six animal protection service requests filed with Austin Animal Services. Of these, three requests in June 2026 remain open, while three others from April 2026 and March 2026 have been closed. The nature of these requests includes concerns about proper animal care, loose dogs, and general assistance requests. Despite these animal-related issues, the building's permit history shows only one building permit filed in the past seven years, though the record does not specify the nature of this permit.

Risk rating

How 5504 Samuel Huston Ave'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.
