Initial analysis

The property at 1601 Sylvan Drive in the Riverside neighborhood is a single-unit building constructed in 2018, designed as an additional living quarter, and currently owned by Victor Raul Madera. The building's recent service request history from 2026 shows several notable incidents, with the most significant being three open code officer requests (dated June 2, May 20, and May 19) through the Austin Development Services department, which suggest ongoing concerns about building compliance or regulatory issues. In addition, there is an active open request from June 7, 2026, regarding stray assistance through the Austin Animal Services Pet Resource Center, and a completed compost service request from June 10, 2026, through Austin Resource Recovery. The record also shows a resolved obstruction in the right-of-way issue from May 19, 2026, through the Austin Transportation and Public Works department. While some of these requests relate to routine municipal services, the multiple open code officer requests warrant particular attention as they suggest potential ongoing compliance or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 1601 Sylvan 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.
