Unlock complete reportThe two-unit residential property at 1604 E 21 St in the Upper Boggy Creek neighborhood, owned by Charlie G Stephens, is a 1930 two-family dwelling that has experienced relatively few major issues in recent years. The building has had one code complaint in the past seven years, opened in February 2024, concerning land use violations, though this case has been closed. Additionally, there has been one building permit filed during this period. Notably, the property has generated a significant number of 311 service requests, totaling 88 cases, though most are routine and not indicative of serious building issues. The majority of these requests (six out of the last seven, between February and June 2026) relate to waste management services including garbage, recycling, and compost collection through Austin Resource Recovery, suggesting regular municipal service usage. The high frequency of service requests compared to the number of permits and complaints could indicate active maintenance and compliance with waste management regulations, though most of these reports are related to standard municipal services rather than building-specific issues.

How 1604 E 21 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
