Initial analysis

The two-family dwelling at 838 N Meadows Dr, built in 1971 and currently owned by Beemiller Spencer, is a two-unit residential property located in the North Lamar Rundberg neighborhood. The building's recent history over the past seven years shows a mix of service requests and compliance issues, with one code complaint and one violation recorded during this period. Most notably, in May 2024, a property abatement complaint was filed and subsequently closed. The property has generated multiple service requests in recent years, particularly related to garbage collection issues, with two Requests for Austin Resource Recovery services recorded in 2026. There has been an unusual pattern of fireworks-related complaints, with three such incidents reported to the Austin Fire Department between July 2025 and January 2026, two of which were duplicates with one remaining open at the time of reporting. The most recent recorded service requests suggest ongoing concerns regarding waste management, with two garbage-related complaints in early 2026, though all these issues have been officially closed. Given the age of the building and its relatively low number of code violations over the past seven years, the property appears to have maintained basic compliance with housing standards, though the recent cluster of service requests related to waste management and fireworks could indicate periodic challenges with neighborhood disruptions and waste disposal management.

Risk rating

How 838 N Meadows 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

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.
