Initial analysis

The property at 4209 Avenue A is a single-unit garage apartment built in 1946 and owned by Ross Baldick, located in Austin's Hyde Park neighborhood. The building's record over the past seven years reveals several notable incidents, with the most significant being a property abatement code complaint filed in December 2025, which has since been closed. In early 2026, there was a series of transportation-related service requests, including parking violation enforcement (April 2026), two shared micromobility-related issues (April and May 2026), and a right-of-way obstruction complaint (March 2026), all of which have been resolved. Additionally, there was a request for graffiti abatement on public property in February 2026 and a code officer request in January 2026, both of which were closed. The building's permit and complaint history suggests regular interaction with city services, primarily focused on transportation and public space management, with no recorded building permits or complaints related to structural or safety issues during this period.

Risk rating

How 4209 Avenue A'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.
