Initial analysis

The 5-unit residential building at 1205 Southport Drive in the South Lamar neighborhood, constructed in 1983 and currently owned by 1205 Southport LLC, has experienced several notable incidents over the past seven years. The property has documented four code complaints, with the most recent two cases in July 2025 related to property abatement and structural condition violations, though all code complaint cases have been marked as closed. The building has had one recorded code violation during this period. A significant cluster of service requests occurred in early to mid-2026, with six separate requests primarily related to waste management and recycling services through Austin Resource Recovery, as well as one park maintenance request to the Austin Parks and Recreation Department and one parking violation enforcement request to Austin Transportation and Public Works, all of which have also been closed. The pattern of three structural-related complaints within a short timeframe in 2024-2025, along with two property abatement cases, suggests some ongoing concerns with building maintenance that have required attention from city services, though these matters appear to have been resolved based on their closed status.

Risk rating

How 1205 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
