Initial analysis

The two-family dwelling at 3501 Dolphin Drive in the South Lamar neighborhood, constructed in 1971 and currently owned by the White Deborah K Revocable Trust, has generated a moderate number of service requests through the 311 system in the past seven years, totaling ten reports. The most recent cluster of activity in 2026 includes two separate code officer requests in April (one of which remains open), and two Austin Resource Recovery requests in May- one general and one for brush removal, both of which have been closed. Additionally, there was an animal-related service request in April 2026 regarding a loose animal that was not a dog, as well as an unspecified "Other" request handled through the 311 Command Center in March 2026. While the building's service request history shows regular interaction with city services, most of the reported issues appear to be routine neighborhood matters rather than indications of systemic building problems.

Risk rating

How 3501 Dolphin 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
57thpercentile
