Initial analysis

The property at 2405 Forest Ave in the Dawson neighborhood is a single-unit building constructed in 1947, currently owned by Santana Cristina &. The building's recorded history over the past seven years shows relatively minimal activity in terms of major improvements or violations, with only one building permit filed during this period. However, there has been a notable cluster of service requests in the first half of 2026, with five separate requests related to Austin Resource Recovery services, including three garbage-related incidents, one bulk collection, and one household hazardous waste request (which remains open as of the latest data). Additionally, there was one code enforcement request filed with the Development Services Department in March 2026, which has since been resolved. A speed management request was made to the Transportation and Public Works Department in May 2026, and while this was closed, its impact on resident experience is unclear. The building's overall record suggests regular municipal service interactions, particularly regarding waste management, with no documented serious safety or habitability concerns emerging from the available data.

Risk rating

How 2405 Forest Ave'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.
