Initial analysis

The property at 1519 Piedmont Avenue in Crestview is a single-unit residential building constructed in 1949, featuring additional living quarters and currently owned by Andrea Gaines & Gaines. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a total of eight 311 service requests, with the majority of these being routine municipal services that are not uncommon for the area. In 2025 alone, there were six service requests, including two related to Austin Resource Recovery (bulk and recycling services), two instances of graffiti abatement on public property (one of which was a duplicate), one tree issue in the right-of-way, and one street sweeping request. The building's permit history is notably minimal, with only one building permit filed in the past seven years, though this may not necessarily indicate any lack of necessary maintenance or improvements. While the property has experienced some minor exterior maintenance issues as evidenced by the graffiti abatement requests, these incidents appear to be primarily related to public infrastructure rather than the building itself, and all reported issues have been promptly addressed and closed by the appropriate city departments.

Risk rating

How 1519 Piedmont 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

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.
