Initial analysis

The two-family dwelling at 5007 Cottonwood Circle in the MLK neighborhood is a 1965 property currently owned by 5007 Cottonwood LLC. Over the past seven years, the building has had one code complaint, two building permits, and nine 311 service requests. Most notably, a structure condition violation was reported in February 2024, representing the only code complaint on record during this period. The property has seen regular municipal service requests, including four instances of Austin Resource Recovery services (for garbage, recycling, and brush). Other service requests have included animal protection assistance in September 2025 and a Transportation and Public Works request for new sidewalk/curb ramp/ADA route installation in March 2025. The most recent building permit on record was issued in 2019, and while the number of service requests is relatively high, most appear to be routine municipal interactions rather than indicating significant building issues.

Risk rating

How 5007 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.

Neighborhood percentile
