Initial analysis

The property at 603 1/2 Harris Avenue in the Hancock neighborhood is a single-unit garage apartment built in 1933, currently owned by John Shelton Aldridge. The building's recent history from January 2026 through June 2026 shows an unusual cluster of service requests, with six of the seven total 311 requests occurring within a four-month period between January and April 2026. Three of these requests were made to the Austin Development Services Department, specifically for Code Officer interventions, with two of these requests occurring in April 2026 alone. Additionally, there were two requests to the Austin Transportation and Public Works department during this period, one concerning construction concerns in the right-of-way in March 2026 and another regarding a pothole repair in June 2026. The only unrelated request during this time was to Austin Resource Recovery for dead animal collection in April 2026. It's notable that this surge in service requests occurred within a relatively short timeframe, though all requests have been marked as closed.

Risk rating

How 603 1/2 Harris 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.

Neighborhood percentile
89thpercentile
