Initial analysis

The property at 925 E 53 1/2 St, located in Austin's North Loop neighborhood, is a two-unit residential building constructed in 1941 and owned by Blake W Blackwelder and Edythe. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows minimal service requests, with only four recorded incidents between 2025 and 2026. These include two recycling-related interactions with Austin Resource Recovery, a curb/gutter repair request through Austin Transportation and Public Works, and a follow-up inquiry with Austin Development Services. The most concerning issue during this period was a December 2025 animal protection case related to proper animal care, though no further details are provided on the nature or resolution of this incident. The relatively low number of service requests and diverse nature of these incidents suggests regular maintenance and service usage rather than any persistent building-related problems, though it should be noted that the 311 service request data only extends through early 2026 and may not represent the building's full history or current condition.

Risk rating

How 925 E 53 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
82ndpercentile
