Initial analysis

The two-family dwelling at 3405 Elija Street in the Cherry Creek neighborhood, built in 1983 and owned by James Allen Smith, has experienced several municipal interactions over the past seven years with varying implications for resident experience. Most notably, there was a property abatement code complaint opened in April 2025, which received a priority rating of 5 and has since been closed. The property has generated multiple service requests in recent months, with five distinct incidents between April and November 2025, including three related to waste management (garbage, bulk, and recycling handled by Austin Resource Recovery) and two infrastructure matters (pothole repair and street/bridge miscellaneous services addressed by Austin Transportation and Public Works). While no serious recurring issues are apparent from the limited available data, it's worth noting that the cluster of service requests appears to be more recent than typical patterns for such buildings, with multiple waste management interventions occurring within close succession.

Risk rating

How 3405 Elija St'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.
