Initial analysis

The 1508 Southport Dr property, managed by Tpi Villas Ltd, is a 100-unit apartment complex located in the South Lamar neighborhood and was constructed in 1986. The building's recent history over the past seven years shows some concerning patterns, particularly regarding structural conditions, with two active and closed complaints related to structure condition violations in 2023 and 2026. Additionally, there was a land use violation complaint in late 2024 that has since been resolved. The property has also experienced a notable level of service activity in 2026, with 42 total 311 service requests recorded in the past seven years, including three requests in June 2026 alone - two related to waste management (recycling and compost) and one concerning street debris. While there have been some quality of life and maintenance issues documented through these service requests, including a parking violation enforcement request and a request for code officer assistance in May 2026, these appear to be typical of a large residential complex rather than indicating any systemic problems. The building's permit activity shows only one building permit in the past seven years, though this alone does not necessarily indicate any concerns.

Risk rating

How 1508 Southport 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.
