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 property at 809 W 29th Street is a two-family dwelling located in the West University neighborhood of Austin, built in 1922 and currently owned by Michael L. Gillette. The building's recent service request history, spanning 2026, shows significant activity related to waste management, particularly in May 2026, when multiple requests were made for garbage collection, dead animal removal, and compost services through Austin Resource Recovery. Most of these requests have been resolved and closed, with the exception of one open garbage-related request from late May 2026. Additionally, there was one request for pothole repair through the Austin Transportation and Public Works department in early May 2026, which has been successfully resolved. While the building itself appears to have no recorded structural or safety issues in the recent past, the frequency of waste management service requests in May 2026 may warrant attention to waste disposal practices in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 809 W 29 St'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
