Franklin Park, Austin TX 78744 0416001424 4 units · 1982

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 4907 Merritt Drive in the Franklin Park neighborhood, owned by Connect The Dots Inc, has been in operation since 1982 and currently comprises 4 units. The property has generated a total of 8 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with a notably concerning cluster of animal-related incidents in May and June 2026. During this recent period, there were multiple reports of animal protection issues, including three separate animal protection cases (an injured/sick animal report, a vicious dog complaint, and a loose dog incident), suggesting an emerging pattern of animal control challenges in the vicinity. Additionally, there were two requests for code enforcement officer intervention from the Austin Development Services department in late April and early May 2026, though the specific nature of these code-related concerns is not detailed in the available data. The most recent service request on record, dated June 12, 2026, is related to bulk waste collection and remains open, indicating it has not yet been resolved. While the building has maintained its fourplex status since 1982, the recent concentration of animal-related incidents and code enforcement requests warrants attention to the property's current challenges, particularly regarding neighborhood safety and quality of life.

Risk rating

How 4907 Merritt 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.
