721 Sparks Ave
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.
This building has 0 code violations (7y), at or below the Hancock average of 0.2.
The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts code violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Unlock complete reportThe property at 721 Sparks Avenue in the Hancock neighborhood is a single-unit building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Robyn M Turner. The building's master record indicates it has been designated as an Additional Living Quarter. The most recent service request activity has been concentrated in early 2026, with multiple park maintenance requests filed with the Austin Parks and Recreation Department between January 12 and June 24, 2026, all of which have been closed. There was one bulk material pickup request to Austin Resource Recovery in September 2025, and notably, an open request for a code officer from Austin Development Services filed in September 2025, which could warrant attention based on its current status. While the building has experienced some maintenance and service requests over the past seven years (totaling 26 requests), the majority of recent activities appear to be related to park grounds maintenance rather than building-specific issues, though the open code officer request from development services stands out as the only currently unresolved service item.

How 721 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.
Out of 316 buildings in this neighborhood, 224 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
