Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 5514 Ponciana Drive, located in the Franklin Park neighborhood, has experienced several notable events in recent years since its construction in 1972. Most significantly, there was a land use violation complaint filed in October 2024, though this case has since been closed. The property has also been the subject of multiple vehicle-related issues, with three open vehicle abatement reports filed with the Austin Police Department in May 2026, and one vehicle-related complaint from June 2025 that was subsequently closed. Two animal-related incidents were reported to Austin Animal Services in late 2025, concerning loose dogs and animal care issues, both of which were resolved. Additionally, there was a request for a code officer investigation through Austin Development Services in November 2025, which has been closed. While the building's basic infrastructure as a two-family dwelling remains intact, these records indicate recurring concerns with vehicle-related issues and occasional animal management problems in the vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 5514 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

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
