Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 8511 Dryfield Drive in the North Lamar Rundberg neighborhood, built in 1968 and currently owned by Henry & Sonstein Ltd, has experienced several noteworthy events in recent years. Most concerning is the current active property abatement complaint case initiated in June 2026, which is still pending resolution. This code complaint has been accompanied by another related code enforcement request filed the same day through the Austin Development Services department. The building's record shows three parking violation enforcement requests (two in April 2026 and one in May 2026) - though these were resolved, their frequency suggests potential ongoing parking issues in the area. On a more routine basis, the property has utilized Austin Resource Recovery services for compost collection in December 2025 and bulk waste removal in November 2025, both of which were successfully completed. Additionally, there was one other code officer request to Development Services Department in January 2025 that was closed, though the specific nature of this request is not detailed in the records. While the building has had various service requests, the most significant current concern appears to be the active property abatement case and associated code enforcement matters.

Risk rating

How 8511 Dryfield Dr'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.
