St. Johns, Austin TX 78752 0231140518 2 units · 1983

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-family dwelling at 508 Blackson Ave in the St. Johns neighborhood, owned by Karina Figueroa, has been standing since 1983 and is relatively modest in size with just two units. The building has generated an average of approximately 1.4 service requests per year over the past seven years, with a notable concentration of animal-related incidents in late 2025. During that period, there were three distinct reports of injured or sick animals (October 15, October 20, and April 17) documented through Austin Animal Services, as well as one dead animal collection request in November 2025. The property has also experienced some infrastructure issues, with a debris incident reported to Austin Transportation and Public Works in October 2025, and a vehicle abatement situation addressed by the Austin Police Department in September 2025. While the service request history shows regular municipal interactions, most issues appear to be environmental or community-related rather than directly impacting building safety or habitability.

Risk rating

How 508 Blackson Ave'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.
