Unlock complete reportThe five-unit apartment building at 904 E 12th Street, owned by Richard E. Ferris, is a 1972 structure located in Central East Austin. The property has experienced several noteworthy incidents over the past year (2026), with particular emphasis on code enforcement activity. There have been three code officer requests recorded in May 2026 alone, including one ongoing investigation from May 21 and one completed case from June 10. These code-related incidents represent significant regulatory scrutiny of the property. In addition to the code enforcement matters, there have been four municipal service requests that indicate typical urban maintenance needs: two Austin Resource Recovery (ARR) services for street sweeping and recycling (both closed), and one Transportation and Public Works (TPW) request for alley and unpaved street maintenance (also closed). While the street maintenance and urban cleanup requests are routine for a property of this age and size, the pattern of multiple code officer requests in 2026 suggests increased attention from regulatory authorities, warranting monitoring of subsequent developments related to these cases.

How 904 E 12 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.
Out of 143 buildings in this neighborhood, 109 are predicted to be safer.
