Initial analysis

The two-family dwelling at 2700 La Mesa in the Dawson neighborhood, owned by Matthew and David Coleman, was constructed in 1963 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most concerning are two recent code complaints in August and September 2024, both related to work completed without proper permits, with the former being prioritized as a more serious issue. The property has generated a notably high number of 311 service requests in 2026, totaling six, which is unusual for a small two-unit building. These requests range from infrastructure concerns such as street light issues and traffic sign maintenance to municipal services like dead animal collection and a short-term rental complaint. While most of these 311 issues have been resolved, the volume and variety of service requests suggest ongoing management challenges. The building's permit activity is limited to just one permit in the past seven years, which, combined with the recent code complaints about unpermitted work, raises questions about compliance with proper permitting procedures.

Risk rating

How 2700 La Mesa'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
61stpercentile
