Initial analysis

The property at 5315 Aurora Drive in the Brentwood neighborhood is a two-unit residential building constructed in 1952, currently owned by Roger W. Smith. The building has experienced several significant events in recent years, with the most notable being a permitted demolition of the circa 1958 structure totaling 1500 square feet, which was issued in February 2024 though subsequently expired. The demolition permit explicitly required contractor adherence to neighbor notification requirements prior to execution. In 2026, there were multiple service requests and code complaints associated with the property, including a property abatement complaint opened in April 2026 (priority 5), a code officer request in April 2026, and a garbage-related service request. Earlier service requests between 2025 and 2026 included matters related to shared micromobility and tree issues in the right-of-way, as well as a bulk waste request, all of which have been closed. The building's record shows relatively few issues over the past seven years, with only one code complaint and four building permits issued during this period, though the recent increase in service requests could warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 5315 Aurora 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

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.
