Garrison Park, Austin TX 78745 0418120327 4 units · 1969

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The fourplex at 6506 S 1st Street in Garrison Park, built in 1969 and currently owned by James C Ratliff, has experienced 28 recorded service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of activities occurring in April-May 2026. This recent period saw multiple interactions with Austin Resource Recovery, including three general issues and separate recycling and garbage requests, all of which have been successfully closed. Additionally, there was a closed animal care-related service request in May 2026. An open service request related to a tree issue in the right-of-way was filed in June 2026, which remains unresolved as of the latest data. While the building's overall service request history is not unusually high for a four-unit property, the concentration of recent activity in April-May 2026 suggests there may have been specific operational or maintenance matters during that period, though all but one of those issues has been addressed.

Risk rating

How 6506 S 1 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.

Neighborhood percentile
