Initial analysis

The 200-unit apartment complex at 1044 Camino La Costa in St. Johns, owned by 740 West Elm LLC, was constructed in 1983 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety concerns over the past seven years. Most notably, there is an active structure condition violation case as of April 2026, following a pattern of similar complaints in recent years, with four code complaints logged between 2023 and 2026. The building has undergone major structural work, including the installation of 35 steel piles in 2025 to address slab stability issues, though this permit has since expired. In late 2024, substantial roof replacement work was completed across multiple buildings (1-20, including Buildings 6, 9, 11, 13, and 17) within the complex.

Risk rating

How 1044 Camino La Costa'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.
