Initial analysis

The 50-unit apartment complex at 4821 E Riverside Drive in Pleasant Valley, built in 1973 and currently owned by 4821 East Riverside Drive LLC, has experienced persistent structural issues in recent years. Notably, there has been a concerning pattern of structure condition violations, with six separate complaints reported in 2026 alone (and 22 in total over the past seven years), including multiple active cases as recent as June 2026. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, with building permits granted in early 2024 for concrete landing replacements and guard rail installations across all five buildings (A through E), suggesting the ownership's response to previous safety concerns. The property has also seen regular 311 service requests, particularly during 2026 with five requests related to code enforcement, though most have been closed, except for one current open case from June 8, 2026. While these renovation works indicate some commitment to maintenance, the frequent structure-related complaints and violations raise questions about the building's overall condition and the effectiveness of maintenance protocols.

Risk rating

How 4821 E Riverside 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.

Neighborhood percentile
