Initial analysis

The two-family dwelling at 618 Fairfield Lane in Hyde Park, owned by Horan Karen E and James R Ellinger, has experienced several municipal service interactions over the past two years. The most recent activity includes two service requests from October 2024, one related to water issues and another classified as "Other" through the 311 Command Center; both of these cases have been resolved. Looking back through the records, the property has had four service requests in 2023, including a non-emergency collision incident recorded by the Austin Police Department in September, and two Command Center requests marked simply as "Other." The building's service record also shows two instances of compost-related requests through Austin Resource Recovery, one in June 2024 and another in August 2022. While the majority of these service requests have been properly closed, it's worth noting that the most recent water-related issue from October 2024 could potentially be of interest to current or prospective tenants, though the system indicates it has been resolved.

Risk rating

How 618 Fairfield Ln'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.

Neighborhood percentile
48thpercentile

Out of 439 buildings in this neighborhood, 228 are predicted to be safer.
