AI summary

The property at 2203 E 8 St in Central East Austin is a single-unit garage apartment built in 2018, currently owned by Marc Biel. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a modest number of service requests through the city's 311 system, with a notable cluster of activity occurring in May 2026. During this recent period, there were multiple service requests including two related to Austin Resource Recovery (for compost and bulk services), sidewalk repair work, and a pothole repair request through the Transportation and Public Works department, all of which have been closed. Additionally, there was a request for stray assistance from the Pet Resource Center, which has also been resolved. Most significantly, there is currently an open follow-up request with the Austin Development Services, though the nature of this request is not specified in the records. It's worth noting that while the building has had several maintenance and service requests, all but one have been resolved, and the types of requests generally relate to routine city services rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 2203 E 8 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

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.
