Initial analysis

The property at 2839 Shoal Crest Ave is a single-unit garage apartment located in the West University neighborhood, built in 1935 and currently owned by Brian Jeffrey Copland. The building's documented history over the past several years shows minimal issues affecting resident experience, with most recent activity centered around routine municipal services. In 2026, there was an open request for street sweeping by Austin Resource Recovery, while two separate requests filed on November 29, 2023, involving street and bridge miscellaneous issues and construction items in the right-of-way, have been successfully closed. The earliest recorded service request from May 2021 pertains to concerns in the right-of-way, though this was also closed. Overall, the building's record suggests regular municipal maintenance activity rather than any significant building-specific issues, with no documented complaints or safety concerns directly related to the property itself.

Risk rating

How 2839 Shoal Crest Ave'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.
