North University, Austin TX 78705 0216041303 5 units · 1972

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 5-unit residential building at 105 E 31st Street in the North University neighborhood, constructed in 1972 and currently owned by Joseph Companies Investment II LLC, has recorded 20 service requests through the Austin 311 system over the past seven years. The majority of these recent service requests in 2025-2026 were related to transportation and parking issues, with four parking violation enforcement requests and one parking sign maintenance request between December 2025 and April 2026. Other infrastructure concerns included a pothole repair request in April 2026 and a street light issue reported to Austin Energy in February 2026. The building's service record shows a concentration of parking-related issues in early 2026, suggesting ongoing challenges with street parking in the immediate vicinity, though all reported issues have been addressed and marked as closed. The relatively low overall number of service requests (20 in seven years) might indicate reasonable maintenance conditions, though the recent cluster of transportation-related complaints warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 105 E 31 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.
