Initial analysis

The property at 1201 W 40th Street in the Rosedale neighborhood is a single-unit residence built in 1947 and currently owned by the Means Living Trust. The building, which features an additional living quarter improvement, has generated limited official records over the past seven years, with only one building permit filed during this period. The property has experienced recurring service requests primarily related to municipal services, with four 311 service requests in the past year alone. Between July 2023 and April 2024, there were three recycling-related requests and two parking enforcement requests recorded by Austin city departments. While all reported service requests have been closed, the nature of these requests suggests ongoing engagement with basic municipal services rather than any significant building-specific issues. The most recent service request was submitted in April 2026 for parking sign maintenance, indicating the property's ongoing interaction with local public services while maintaining an otherwise stable building record.

Risk rating

How 1201 W 40 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.

Neighborhood percentile
