Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The fourplex at 2904 Pearl Street, located in Austin's West University neighborhood, is a 1950-built residential building currently owned by Sean Michael Kiehne and has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance events over the past seven years. Most recently, in January 2024, the property underwent window replacement work, with three associated building permits being issued and successfully completed. The building's service request record shows an unusual cluster of activity in late 2026, primarily related to parking violations and traffic sign matters, though it's worth noting that these were external infrastructure issues rather than building-specific problems. There were also two code officer requests made to the Austin Development Services Department in August and May 2026, both of which were closed, indicating these matters have been resolved.

How 2904 Pearl 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

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
