Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 603 E 38th Street, located in the Hancock neighborhood, is a 1957 two-family dwelling currently owned by the Marc C Gurgiolo Living Trust. The building's record over the past seven years shows limited 311 service requests, with a modest total of three concerns filed. The most recent cluster of incidents occurred in early 2026, with a noticeable pattern of code-related issues, as three separate requests were made to the Austin Development Services Department for code officer intervention between January and May 2026. Other matters during this period included requests for pothole repairs and reports of construction concerns in the right of way through the Austin Transportation and Public Works Department, as well as a dead animal collection request through Austin Resource Recovery, all of which have since been closed. While the building has experienced some maintenance and regulatory oversight needs, it's worth noting that these issues were all addressed through appropriate channels and have been marked as closed in the city's records.

Risk rating

How 603 E 38 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
