Initial analysis

The two-family dwelling at 2315 Thornton Road in the South Lamar neighborhood, built in 1938 and currently owned by Psw-Thornton 2 Llc, has experienced some notable incidents and service requests over the past several years. Most significant among these was a flooding incident reported to the Watershed Protection department in June 2026. The property has also seen recurring parking enforcement issues during 2026, with four separate violations recorded between April and June, though these were eventually resolved. A maintenance issue regarding parking signage was also addressed in June 2026. Additionally, there was one request in January 2026 related to compost services through Austin Resource Recovery. The building's permit history shows only one permit application in the past seven years, though this record is not detailed in the provided data. While the property's age (85 years) is notable, the most pressing concerns seem to relate to parking management and the recent flooding incident, which may impact resident comfort and accessibility.

Risk rating

How 2315 Thornton 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.
