Gracy Woods, Austin TX 78758 0258160161 2 units · 1984

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 12231 Running Bird Lane in the Gracy Woods neighborhood was constructed in 1984 and is currently owned by David C. and Judith J. Ellis. The property has maintained consistent compliance with municipal services, as evidenced by its 311 service request history over the past seven years, with all recorded requests being appropriately closed. The building's service requests primarily relate to Austin Resource Recovery, with a pattern suggesting regular participation in the city's waste management programs. These requests include three recycling-related services (a missed appointment in December 2020, a standard recycling request in September 2022, and a composting request in June 2023), as well as a bulk service request made in March 2026. The property's service request pattern indicates regular maintenance of waste management protocols, with only one notable missed service incident (the 2020 missed recycling pickup) which appears to be an isolated occurrence given the subsequent proper handling of recycling services.

Risk rating

How 12231 Running Bird Ln'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.
