Mlk, Austin TX 78723 0217200310 4 units · 1966

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.

Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 5003 Cottonwood Circle in the MLK neighborhood, owned by Richard Neuman, is a 1966 construction that has recently experienced a series of service requests between late 2025 and mid-2026. The property has generated a total of 16 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent being an open request for household hazardous waste removal in May 2026. The building's maintenance needs have included various municipal services, such as recycling (March 2026), street light issues (January 2026), and wildlife exposure concerns (December 2025) that required animal protection intervention. The property has also utilized Austin Resource Recovery services for brush removal (December 2025) and bulk waste disposal (November 2025). While the majority of these service requests have been resolved (as indicated by their "Closed" status), the recent hazardous waste request remains pending as of May 2026.

Risk rating

How 5003 Cottonwood Cir'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.
