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 two-family dwelling at 707 Sparks Avenue in the Hancock neighborhood is a 90-year-old property constructed in 1933 and currently owned by Ingrid Burton. The building's record shows consistent engagement with city services over the past several years, with a total of seven 311 service requests filed in the past seven years. The most recent cluster of service requests in 2026 included two instances of parking sign maintenance by the Transportation and Public Works department, a telecommunication/gas utility complaint, and requests for bulk and garbage services through Austin Resource Recovery. Notably, there was also a code officer request filed with Austin Development Services in late December 2025. While all documented service requests have been closed, the frequency and variety of issues reported could suggest ongoing maintenance or infrastructure concerns, particularly in the context of the building's age and configuration as a two-family dwelling.

Risk rating

How 707 Sparks 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

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.
