Initial analysis

The two-family dwelling at 1608 Nickerson St in South River City, owned by Nita Smith, was constructed in 1979 and has had minimal documented activity over the past seven years, with only one building permit recorded during this period. The property has generated five 311 service requests since May 2026, with varying degrees of impact on resident experience. Most notably, there was one construction-related concern in the public right-of-way reported in June 2026, and an open bulk-related issue with Austin Resource Recovery from June 2026 that remains unresolved as of the latest data. The property has also experienced several service-related matters in May 2026, including closed cases for both garbage and recycling services, as well as a closed animal protection request regarding roadside sales. The most historical service request was for a pothole repair in May 2026, which has since been addressed. While none of these issues appear to pose direct safety concerns, the volume of service requests in May 2026, particularly related to waste management and street maintenance, may reflect on the property's maintenance environment.

Risk rating

How 1608 Nickerson St'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.

Neighborhood percentile
