Initial analysis

The 5-unit apartment complex at 1207 Southport Drive in the South Lamar neighborhood, owned by 1207 Southport LLC, has experienced significant structural concerns in recent months. Between May and September 2025, there were four documented complaints regarding structural conditions, all of which have been closed, with priority levels ranging from 2 to 3. The building, constructed in 1983, has maintained its basic apartment classification and has experienced some general maintenance activity typical for its age and size. Most notably, in mid-2026, there was an active pattern of waste management service requests, including multiple recycling, compost, bulk, and garbage pickup requests, all of which were properly closed out, demonstrating compliance with basic waste management requirements. Additionally, there is an open request from April 2026 concerning park maintenance or grounds upkeep, though it's unclear if this is directly related to the building itself or a nearby public space. It's worth noting that this analysis covers data up to October 2023, and the complaint patterns suggest recent structural concerns that may warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 1207 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.

Neighborhood percentile
14thpercentile

Out of 447 buildings in this neighborhood, 384 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total improvement square footage is a proxy for property scale and the number of systems that can need maintenance.

Location

Precise location is a proxy for area-level risk — some Austin ZIP codes have systematically higher code-enforcement activity.

No homestead exemption

No homestead exemption on file — a signal the property may be a rental or investment property.
