Initial analysis

The 5-unit apartment building at 5218 Tahoe Trail in the Westgate neighborhood, owned by Joey G Wright, has experienced several noteworthy events over the past seven years. Most concerning are two active structure condition violation complaints that were both opened in 2024-2026, currently classified as Priority 2 complaints. These ongoing structural issues suggest persistent maintenance challenges that may affect resident safety and comfort. The property has also been the subject of five parking-related service requests between April and September 2025, all of which have been resolved, indicating some traffic or parking management challenges in the building's vicinity. Additionally, there was one brush/yard maintenance request in April 2025 that has been closed. While the building has experienced some service requests requiring attention, the most significant and relevant issues for current and prospective tenants appear to be the two active structural violation complaints that remain unresolved as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 5218 Tahoe Trl'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
