Initial analysis

The 2-unit residential building at 609 Texas Avenue in the Hancock neighborhood, owned by Texas Avenue 609 LLC, has been in existence since 1932. The property has experienced several notable events in the past seven years, with the most significant being an active code complaint initiated in June 2026 regarding work conducted without proper permits, which remains open as of now. This complaint has also triggered a corresponding service request for a code officer investigation, currently marked as open. The building's history shows a minimal number of formal complaints and service requests, with a total of four 311 service calls in 2026 alone, including reports of vehicle abatement (closed), multiple requests for code officer involvement (one open, two closed), a graffiti abatement request (closed), and a garbage-related issue (closed). While the property has maintained relatively few complaints over the years, the recent cluster of service requests and the active code complaint regarding unpermitted work suggest increased regulatory scrutiny of the property's current condition and management practices.

Risk rating

How 609 Texas 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

Austin Code rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. Austin Code has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
