Rosedale, Austin TX 78731 0227000802 2 units · 1963

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 2621 W 49 1/2 Street in the Rosedale neighborhood, owned by Smith August William Jr, was constructed in 1963 and is classified as a two-family dwelling. Over the past seven years, the building has generated minimal administrative activity, with only two building permits filed during this period. The most significant concentration of service requests occurred in 2024, with three separate code enforcement requests made to the Development Services Department between July and December of that year, all of which were subsequently closed. These code requests, while properly resolved, represent the only pattern of service requests on record. In addition to these, there have been four routine municipal service requests related to waste management and street maintenance, including two recycling services and two bulk/road-related services, all of which were also closed.

Risk rating

How 2621 W 49 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.
