AI summary

The property at 224 Lessin Lane in the Dawson neighborhood is a single-unit residential building owned by Vincent H. Prothro, featuring an additional living quarter improvement that was constructed in 2019. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows consistent maintenance of property records, with the most significant cluster of incidents occurring between 2025 and 2026. During this period, there were four consecutive parking violation enforcement requests in early 2026 (March and January), and one in October 2025, all of which were successfully closed by the Austin Transportation and Public Works Department. Prior to these incidents, there was a documented animal control issue in June 2022 involving a loose dog, which was addressed and closed by the Animal Services Office. This relatively short, straightforward record shows that while there have been several parking-related concerns in recent years, no major building safety or maintenance issues have been reported through official channels.

Risk rating

How 224 Lessin 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

Austin Code rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. Austin Code has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
55thpercentile

Out of 84 buildings in this neighborhood, 38 are predicted to be safer.
