Initial analysis

The 5-unit apartment complex at 1200 Banister Ln in South Lamar, built in 1971, is currently owned by Fca Banister Austin Propco LLC. The building has experienced a notable cluster of land use violations in mid-2024, with three separate complaints filed between June and August of that year, though all of these cases have since been closed. While the property has had no recorded code complaints in the past three years, it has generated a total of 28 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent requests clustered in June 2026. These recent service requests primarily relate to external matters such as park grounds maintenance (twice in June 2026), garbage collection issues, and an animal control concern regarding a loose dog. The property has also been the subject of a vehicle abatement report through the Austin Police Department, which remains open as of June 2026. It's worth noting that the most significant building-related issues appear to have been concentrated in mid-2024, with no major code complaints or violations reported in the subsequent two years.

Risk rating

How 1200 Banister Ln'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
9thpercentile

Out of 447 buildings in this neighborhood, 407 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
