Unlock complete reportThe property at 1609 Drake Ave in South River City is a single-unit building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Andrew Macdonald. The structure has experienced some notable issues in recent years, with two code complaints filed in 2023-2024 related to property conditions and abatement needs, both of which have since been closed. The building's service record from 2026 shows a diverse range of incidents, including two shared micromobility-related interactions with Austin Transportation and Public Works, and an open vehicle abatement report with the Austin Police Department. Earlier in 2026, there were also two animal protection cases - one regarding wildlife exposure and another requiring assistance - both of which were resolved. Additionally, there was a parking violation enforcement request that was addressed and closed. While the most recent interactions with city services are not directly related to the building's structural conditions, they do indicate ongoing engagement with municipal services that could affect the surrounding area and resident experience.

How 1609 Drake 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.
Out of 310 buildings in this neighborhood, 264 are predicted to be safer.
