Initial analysis

The two-family dwelling located at 5500 Ponciana Drive in Franklin Park, owned by Bolton Harry Llc, was constructed in 1972. The building has experienced minimal code enforcement activity over the past seven years, with only one code complaint recorded in September 2024 related to property abatement, though this case has since been closed. The property has generated multiple 311 service requests, with the most significant cluster of incidents occurring between April and May 2026. During this period, the building experienced various service needs including a parking violation enforcement request, tree issues in the right-of-way, and reports of injured/sick animals that required attention from Austin Animal Services. Specifically, three service requests from April to June 2026 remain noteworthy: an open vehicle abatement report with the Austin Police Department filed in April 2026, an open brush service request with Austin Resource Recovery from June 2026, and a closed dead animal collection request also from June 2026. While these service requests cover a range of municipal services, they primarily relate to external concerns rather than direct building conditions.

Risk rating

How 5500 Ponciana 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.

Neighborhood percentile
