Initial analysis

The property at 5418 Montview St in the Allandale neighborhood is a single-unit garage apartment built in 2007, currently owned by the Russi Alan Lawton Living Trust. The building's recorded history over the past seven years shows limited activity, with only one building permit application on file during this period. More notably, there has been a cluster of service requests to Austin Resource Recovery in 2023, particularly during June when three brush removal and two bulk item pickup requests were made and successfully closed. Prior to this, there was another bulk item request in late May 2023, suggesting a temporary period of significant waste management needs during that spring-summer period. The only other recorded service request was a parking violation enforcement request made in January 2026, which was also closed, though this is in the future relative to the current date of October 2023. The pattern of service requests indicates regular maintenance of waste management needs was required during 2023, particularly in late spring to summer, though all requests were properly addressed by the respective departments.

Risk rating

How 5418 Montview 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.
