Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 5003 Wasson Rd in the East Congress neighborhood, owned by Jim O'Brien, is a 1945 two-family dwelling that has experienced several notable incidents over the past seven years. Most concerning are four land use violation complaints filed between June 2024 and June 2025, all of which were marked as priority 2 and have since been closed. The property has also generated a series of 311 service requests, with the most recent being an open vicious dog complaint filed in June 2026, which remains unresolved. Other recent service requests include two animal-related incidents (an injured/sick animal case in May 2026 and the ongoing dog complaint), as well as three Austin Resource Recovery services for waste management (two garbage-related requests in May 2026 and February 2026, and a compost request in February 2026), all of which have been closed. The frequency of land use violations and recent animal-related incidents, particularly the open complaint about a potentially dangerous animal, suggest some ongoing challenges related to property management and resident safety.

Risk rating

How 5003 Wasson 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
