Initial analysis

The two-family dwelling at 1404 Matthews Lane in the Dittmar-Slaughter neighborhood is a 1982 property currently owned by Matthew Stephen Butler. The building has experienced some notable events in recent years, with the most significant being a structure condition violation that resulted in an open code complaint in August 2025, though this was marked as priority level 2 when opened. The property has also been subject to various municipal service requests between 2025-2026, including a tree-related issue in the right-of-way (May 2026), recycling (February 2026), compost (October 2025), and a wildlife exposure incident (September 2025) that involved animal protection services. Additionally, there was an environmental health services request through Public Health in July 2025, and the property has recorded one code violation and one code complaint in the past seven years. While the building has had multiple service requests, most have been resolved promptly, with only the structure condition violation representing a potentially ongoing concern.

Risk rating

How 1404 Matthews Ln'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.
