Initial analysis

The two-family dwelling at 1212 W 38th Street in the Rosedale neighborhood is a 1949 construction currently owned by Blue Ladies Minerals Inc. The property's official documentation shows minimal recent activity, with only one building permit recorded in the past seven years and three 311 service requests. The most recent service requests, both filed and closed on September 8, 2025, were related to transportation and public works issues - specifically concerning construction concerns in the right-of-way and street name sign maintenance. These external infrastructure matters, which were promptly addressed and closed, appear to be the only documented interactions with city services in recent years. The historical record shows no reported building violations, safety concerns, or resident complaints, though the limited scope of available data should be noted.

Risk rating

How 1212 W 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.
