Initial analysis

The property at 2841 Shoal Crest Ave, located in the West University neighborhood, is a single-unit residence built in 1932 that has been designated as having an Additional Living Quarter improvement. The building, owned by Matthew E Lutz, has experienced several interactions with city code enforcement and development services over recent years. Most notably, there have been two code officer requests in September 2025 (the most recent recorded activity), and two simultaneous code officer requests in March 2022, as well as a single code officer request in July 2019. While all service requests have been marked as closed in the system, the frequency of code officer involvement over this timeline, particularly in recent years, may warrant attention to the nature of these interactions. The 311 service requests have primarily originated from either the Austin Code Department or the Development Services Department, indicating ongoing regulatory oversight of the property.

Risk rating

How 2841 Shoal Crest 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.
