Initial analysis

The two-family dwelling at 5105 Heflin Lane in the MLK-183 neighborhood, owned by Emmitt L Spears, dates back to 1950 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. The property has faced structural concerns, with two separate structure condition violation complaints filed and subsequently closed in February 2026, though the specific nature and impact of these violations are not detailed in the records. More recently, between April and June 2026, there has been a pattern of animal-related incidents in the vicinity, with six documented cases involving loose dogs and animal assistance requests, all of which have been resolved. Additionally, there was one garbage-related service request to Austin Resource Recovery in May 2026. While most of these incidents have been addressed and closed, the frequency of animal-related complaints and the presence of structural violations may be of interest to current and prospective tenants.

Risk rating

How 5105 Heflin Ln'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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

Austin Code rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. Austin Code has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
