Unlock complete reportThe 50-unit Manchaca Apartments, located at 5426 Menchaca Rd in the Westgate neighborhood, has experienced significant regulatory activity and maintenance work over the past several years. Most recently, in 2026, there was a cluster of structural condition violations and work without permit complaints, leading to multiple inspections under the Repeat Offender Program, though all cases were subsequently closed. The building has undergone extensive roofing work throughout 2023-2024, including multiple re-roofing projects and repairs to different building sections, with several permits having expired, though some were marked as final. Between 2020 and 2023, significant maintenance was performed on exterior stairs of three buildings, which received proper final approval.

How 5426 Menchaca 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
