5501 Purple Sage Dr
A handful of records on file over the last seven years, and our model predicts a high risk of further maintenance problems in the next 12 months. A few records worth reading before you sign. Check whether they were closed out, and ask what was actually fixed.
This building has 0 code violations (7y), at or below the Lbj average of 1.0.
This building's 72% risk is high in absolute terms; it still rates lower-risk here because buildings in Lbj generally score worse. The colour is relative to the neighborhood, the percentage is not.

Unlock complete reportThe two-family dwelling at 5501 Purple Sage Dr, owned by Keller Scott Allen, was constructed in 1974 in the LBJ neighborhood. The property has experienced several notable events in recent years, with the most significant being a foundation repair completed in July 2020 under a building permit valued at $5,143. More recently, in August 2023, there was a property abatement code complaint that has since been closed. The building's service request history with Austin Resource Recovery shows a cluster of activity between April and June 2026, with multiple requests for brush and bulk removal services, as well as a general recycling request. While some of these requests have been resolved (specifically three brush removal and two bulk removal requests), there are currently two open requests from June 2026. It's worth noting that the timeline for these service requests appears to be inconsistent with standard reporting periods, suggesting they may be projected or inaccurately dated entries in the system.

How 5501 Purple Sage Dr'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.
Out of 104 buildings in this neighborhood, 34 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
