Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 4900 Merritt Drive in Franklin Park, owned by Ahsanullah Ashraf Tariq & Company, was constructed in 1982 and has had relatively minimal documented issues over the past seven years, with a total of 11 service requests filed through the city's 311 system. The most significant and recent concern is an open request filed in June 2026 for a Code Officer from the Austin Development Services Department, though the nature of this request is not specified in the available data. The building has experienced several routine municipal service interactions, including two garbage-related requests (one for brush and one for bulk waste) and a report of a loose dog in May 2026, all of which have been resolved. Other minor issues include one unspecified 311 Command Center request, though the nature and relevance to resident experience are unclear. The relatively low number of complaints and service requests over this period, totaling 11 across seven years, suggests generally stable conditions, though the open code officer request may warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 4900 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

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.
