1214 Southport Dr

South Lamar, Austin TX 78704 0407071114 4 units · 1981

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The fourplex at 1214 Southport Drive in the South Lamar neighborhood, owned by Silent Bay LLC, was constructed in 1981 and consists of four units. The building has generated a total of 17 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with a significant cluster of activity occurring in May 2026. During this recent period, there were six consecutive service requests related to animal-related incidents between May 10 and June 8, 2026, including reports of strays, loose dogs, and injured or sick animals, all of which were addressed and closed by Austin Animal Services. While these recent animal-related incidents suggest an ongoing community issue with stray animals in the vicinity of the property, it's worth noting that there are no recorded service requests related to building maintenance, tenant complaints, or other property-specific issues in the available data, suggesting stable conditions within the fourplex itself.

Risk rating

How 1214 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
10thpercentile

Out of 447 buildings in this neighborhood, 402 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
