Initial analysis

The West Congress apartment complex at 201 W St Elmo Rd, owned by Saint Elmo Mutual Housing Corp, is a 100-unit property constructed in 1972. The building has experienced several significant recent developments, most notably including the total demolition of its original 1218 square foot pool in September 2025, which was officially completed. The property has faced multiple challenges in 2026, with five short-term rental complaints filed between April and May 2026, though all these cases have been closed except for one code officer request that remains open. The building's condition has been scrutinized through two structure condition violation complaints in 2024 and 2026, though both were eventually closed.

Risk rating

How 201 W St Elmo Rd'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
6thpercentile

Out of 29 buildings in this neighborhood, 27 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
