Initial analysis

The 100-unit apartment complex at 1616 Royal Crest Drive, built in 1968, has experienced various notable events over the past several years, particularly in 2024-2026. Most concerning are the six code complaints filed between 2023 and 2026, with two structure condition violations and four land use violations, including the most recent complaints in April 2026. The property underwent a non-structural reroof project in June 2024, though records indicate these building permits expired without completion. Recent activity shows increased service requests in 2026, with significant attention to animal-related issues, including two animal protection cases involving a bite and a loose dog, as well as a graffiti abatement request. Multiple requests for a code officer from Austin Development Services were filed in April 2026, suggesting ongoing concerns about property conditions or compliance. The building's record reflects persistent maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly in structure condition and land use compliance, with safety-related incidents such as animal bites occurring on the property.

Risk rating

How 1616 Royal Crest 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.
