AREA OF MINIMAL FLOOD HAZARD
Special Flood Hazard Area: no · Map 48453C
Special Flood Hazard Area: FEMA’s mapped 1%-a-year flood zone (zones A, AE, AO, V). “No” means the point is not inside one on the current map; it is not a statement about drainage or past flooding.
An exact point intersection with the effective map. A building or lot can extend across a zone boundary; check map amendments for the property.
Verify the effective map at FEMA ↗What to verify next
Confirm the listing’s reported coordinates against the street address and actual building. This point is not a survey or a parcel boundary.
Understand location accuracy →Review the returned zone and subtype, then locate the building or lot relative to its boundary. A point result does not describe the entire property or its drainage history.

IN PLAIN WORDS
A demolition permit for a 1,050 sqft circa 1935 structure at 1806 DRAKE AVE, 315 ft away, was issued on 2026-02-04 and is active, meaning the work may be under way and has not had its final inspection. The TDLR registration for "PAIGE" at 1712 S Congress Ave, 0.2 mi away, was registered on 2025-12-17 and is complete, indicating the finished construction has passed its accessibility inspection. A second TDLR registration, "LSKD Inter Interior Renovation" at 1704 S Congress Ave, 0.2 mi away, was registered on 2026-09-25 and is review complete, meaning a specialist has finished reviewing the plans. The City of Austin site plan for "1700 South Congress" at 0.2 mi was approved and released on 2025-06-12, allowing building permits to be issued for a proposed cocktail lounge.
Written by the Local Team research system from these records, read Oct 21, 2026: Total Demo of SFR 1050 sqft circa 1935 (Demolition permit, 315 ft away); PAIGE (TDLR project registration, 0.2 mi away); LSKD Inter Interior Renovation (TDLR project registration, 0.2 mi away); 1700 South Congress (City of Austin site plan, 0.2 mi away).

For context
IN PLAIN WORDS
Craft Nori holds a wine and malt beverage retailer license issued on 2026-08-06 at 3715 S 1st St, a record that does not confirm the business is open. Fourths has a mixed beverage permit issued on 2026-07-09 at 3842 S Congress Ave, also matched by ZIP 78704. Sips & Sweets, located 0.2 mi away at 1701 S Congress Ave Austin, was inspected by the county on 2026-04-06 and received a score of 99 of 100, which reflects that specific inspection result rather than a review.
Written by the Local Team research system from these records, read Oct 21, 2026: Craft Nori (TABC license); Fourths (TABC license); Sips & Sweets (food establishment inspection, 0.2 mi away). It states no totals and nothing about this home; check each record’s site and current status.
Code-compliance case: a City investigation opened after a report of a possible ordinance violation. An opened case is not a confirmed violation.
311 request: a service request logged with the City of Austin (missed pickup, street light, loose animal and similar). It records that something was reported, not that it was verified.
TABC license types: state alcohol permits for bars, restaurants, stores, venues and events. A license record is not confirmation that a business is open.
Food inspection score: the county health inspection result on the date shown, out of 100. It is a point-in-time record, not a review of the establishment.
Repeat-offender registry: City of Austin registration for rental properties with repeated code violations in a set period. It is a status on the date synced, not a description of current conditions.
Counts exclude requests marked duplicate or cancelled in the source.
No Repeat Offender Program rental properties are registered within 0.5 mi.
