Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1202 Southwood Rd in the Galindo neighborhood, built in 1955 and owned by Prion Properties LLC-Series J, has experienced several recent incidents that merit attention. Most notably, in 2024 there was a land use violation complaint that was officially closed, adding to the building's record of code compliance issues. The property has faced multiple animal-related incidents in mid-2026, including cases of animal proper care and a loose dog situation, both of which were handled by Austin Animal Services and marked as closed. Additionally, there were two requests for code officer intervention by Austin Development Services in May and June 2026, with one of these cases still showing as open. A parking violation was also reported and subsequently closed. The building's recent history shows a pattern of animal-related issues and ongoing code enforcement matters, with the most significant being the open code complaint case from 2024 and the unresolved code officer request from June 2026.

Risk rating

How 1202 Southwood 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.
