Initial analysis

The five-unit apartment building at 5516 Grover Avenue in the Brentwood neighborhood, owned by the Barr Paul T & Ilene Trust, has been standing since 1971 and has recorded some notable incidents over the past several years. The property has generated a total of ten 311 service requests in the last seven years, with a particularly concentrated pattern of development services department interactions in early 2025, including two code officer requests in February and one in March, along with a tree and environmental complaint in December 2024. A wildlife exposure situation was reported to Animal Services in February 2025. The building has also been the subject of transportation-related concerns, with parking violation enforcement and speed management requests recorded in September and May 2025, respectively. While all recorded service requests have been marked as closed, the frequency and nature of these interactions—particularly the multiple development services department requests—suggest ongoing attention to regulatory and environmental matters in the vicinity of this apartment complex.

Risk rating

How 5516 Grover 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

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.
