Initial analysis

The 5-unit apartment building at 206 E 15th Street in Downtown Austin, owned by Gary C. Bernhard, is a historic property dating back to 1920. The building has generated a total of 27 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent flurry of activity occurring in April-May 2026. During this recent period, there were three command center-related requests in quick succession, all closed within a week of each other, along with a parking violation enforcement request and two other public service requests related to graffiti abatement and watershed protection issues. While all these recent requests were closed promptly, the clustering of multiple service requests in 2026, particularly from various departments including Command Center, Transportation, and Public Health, suggests increased activity in the vicinity of the property during this period. The building's age and unit count place it within the "5-25 unit" category of apartment buildings, a classification that typically encompasses medium-sized residential buildings in urban areas.

Risk rating

How 206 E 15 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.
