Initial analysis

The 5-unit apartment building at 1605 W 39 1/2 Street in the Rosedale neighborhood, owned by Spearhead 39th Street LLC, has been monitored over the past seven years with some notable events on record. The property, constructed in 1973, has experienced minimal regulatory issues, with only one code complaint and one code violation documented within this period. Most recent records show a structure condition violation complaint filed in November 2024, which has since been closed. The building's service request history from 2022 through 2026 reveals various municipal interactions, including three requests related to right-of-way obstructions (in 2022, 2024, and 2025), one parking violation enforcement request, a non-emergency noise complaint to the police department, and a dead animal collection request that was identified as a duplicate. While the number of service requests is relatively modest for a multi-unit building, the nature of these requests primarily relates to external situations rather than internal building issues, with the most significant concern being the structure condition complaint from 2024.

Risk rating

How 1605 W 39 1/2 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

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.
