Initial analysis

The two-family dwelling at 5212 Downs Drive in the MLK-183 neighborhood, owned by Long River Properties LLC, has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. The building, constructed in 1982, has been subject to three code complaints and one code violation during this period, with the most recent issues occurring between July and September 2025, specifically relating to property abatement matters. An additional land use violation complaint was recorded in August 2024, all of which have since been closed. The property has generated 12 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent being a garbage-related request in June 2026 that remains open. Previous service requests have included various municipal matters such as garbage collection, dead animal removal, compost services, and an animal-related incident involving a loose dog, with all but one of these cases being resolved through closure. While the building has had its share of maintenance and municipal service interactions, it's important to note that not all service requests or complaints necessarily indicate safety concerns or significant issues with the property.

Risk rating

How 5212 Downs Dr'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.
