Initial analysis

The property at 708 Vargas Road in Montopolis, owned by Mary L Salinas, is a single-unit additional living quarter structure built in 1981. The building's record shows minimal code violations over the past seven years, with only one recorded code complaint in September 2023 regarding property abatement, though this case has since been closed. The property has generated 11 service requests to the city over the same period, with most of these (five instances) relating to waste management services provided by Austin Resource Recovery, including recycling, compost, and garbage collection services. Two service requests were related to street lighting issues and household hazardous waste management, both of which were resolved. Notably, all documented service requests have been closed, indicating that the city has addressed each concern raised by the property's owner or residents. The relatively low number of code complaints and diverse range of service requests suggests routine maintenance and standard municipal service usage for the building over the past seven years.

Risk rating

How 708 Vargas Rd'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.

Neighborhood percentile
