501 Carolyn 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 two-family dwelling at 501 Carolyn Avenue in the Hancock neighborhood, built in 1935 and currently owned by Jmek Projects LLC, has a modest record of building permits and service requests over the past seven years. The property has only one building permit on file during this period, suggesting minimal registered modifications or improvements. A notable pattern of service requests emerged throughout 2026, with a particular concentration of issues requiring attention in early 2026, including two separate requests for code officer involvement (one of which remains open as of May 2026). The property has also experienced various municipal service needs, such as road markings maintenance, a loose dog report, a right-of-way obstruction, and shared micromobility matters, though most of these have been resolved. While the building's age and two-unit configuration are consistent with its historical character, the recent increase in service requests points to ongoing maintenance and regulatory oversight needs in the immediate vicinity.

How 501 Carolyn 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
