Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 401 W 55 1/2 St in the North Loop neighborhood, built in 1969, is currently owned by 401 West 55 & A Half Street LLC. The building's recent history shows minimal code violations, with only one structure condition violation recorded in January 2024, though this case has since been closed. Over the past seven years, there have been four 311 service requests, all of which were properly closed. The most notable cluster of incidents occurred in June 2026, when multiple service requests were made regarding parking violations and animal protection issues, specifically concerning injured/sick animals. Prior to this cluster, there were separate requests in April 2026 related to shared micromobility, and in June 2026 regarding traffic sign maintenance. While the number of service requests might seem significant, they primarily relate to street and public space matters rather than building-specific concerns, and all cases have been resolved according to the records.

Risk rating

How 401 W 55 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

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.
