Hyde Park, Austin TX 78751 0222071305 2 units · 1961

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 two-unit residential building at 109 E 48 1/2 St in Hyde Park, owned by Emf Texas Properties Llc, was constructed in 1961 as a two-family dwelling. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of four 311 service requests associated with the property, with all incidents occurring in 2025-2026. The most recent issues pertain to street and public space concerns, including two transportation-related requests in May 2026 regarding view obstructions and right-of-way blockages. Earlier in 2026, there were two waste management-related requests in January, one for garbage and another for bulk waste services. The property has also had one telecommunications or gas utility complaint logged with Austin Financial Services in October 2025. All recorded service requests have been closed, but the concentration of recent issues, particularly in early 2026, suggests a period of increased maintenance and public infrastructure interaction around the property.

Risk rating

How 109 E 48 1/2 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

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.
