Initial analysis

The 100-unit apartment building at 1016 Camino La Costa in St. Johns, built in 1978 and currently owned by La Costa Babay Ltd, has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years. Most concerning are the six code complaints filed between 2024 and 2025, with two specifically citing structure condition violations in June 2024 and June 2025, though both cases were marked as closed. Five property abatement complaints were also filed and closed during this period, along with one land use violation complaint in July 2024 (also closed). The building has undergone significant recent maintenance work, with records showing at least six building permits issued in October 2024 for roofing work on the existing multi-family structure, all of which have reached final status.

Risk rating

How 1016 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.
