Unlock complete reportThe two-unit residential property at 2516 Howellwood Way in the South Brodie neighborhood, owned by James R. Schwenk, was constructed in 1985. The building's recent history shows minimal code violations, with only one code complaint filed in October 2023 regarding property abatement, though this matter has since been closed. The property has generated several service requests to various Austin municipal departments over the past seven years, primarily involving Austin Resource Recovery (ARR) services. Between March and December 2025, there were multiple ARR-related requests, including three recycling service requests, one bulk service request, and one general compost service request, all of which have been closed satisfactorily. Additionally, there was one animal protection service request in June 2026 regarding an injured or sick animal, which was also closed. While the building has had regular interactions with city services, particularly regarding waste management and recycling, the relatively low number of complaints and their subsequent resolution suggests that most issues have been addressed promptly.

How 2516 Howellwood Way'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

Out of 242 buildings in this neighborhood, 196 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
