500 Elmwood Pl

Hancock, Austin TX 78705 0215051020 5 units · 1965

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 five-unit apartment building at 500 Elmwood Place, located in the Hancock neighborhood and owned by 514 E Beltline Rd Llc, has been in operation since 1965. The property has generated 19 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of incidents occurring between April and May 2026, when there were multiple transportation-related issues including parking violations, parking sign maintenance, and an obstruction in the right-of-way. Additionally, concerns about standing water were reported to the Watershed Protection department, and a request for a code officer was made to the Development Services department. While all recorded service requests have been closed, the recent concentration of issues in 2026 suggests ongoing challenges with parking management and potential infrastructure maintenance needs.

Risk rating

How 500 Elmwood Pl'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.

Neighborhood percentile
16thpercentile
