5512 Jim Hogg Ave

Brentwood, Austin TX 78756 0229030508 5 units · 1969

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The five-unit apartment building at 5512 Jim Hogg Avenue in Brentwood, owned by Jose C & Josephine Tapia, was constructed in 1969 and has experienced limited permitted improvements, with only one building permit on record in the past seven years. This permit, issued in August 2025, was for a roofing project but has since expired without indication of completion. The property has generated seven service requests between mid-2025 and mid-2026, covering various concerns though none indicating significant safety issues. These requests included two separate code officer inquiries (July and May 2026), a vehicle abatement report (March 2026), a fireworks complaint (January 2026), construction concerns in the right-of-way (November 2025), and a garbage-related issue (August 2025). While the number of service requests may warrant attention, it's worth noting that all have been closed, suggesting resolution or investigation by the respective departments. The relative frequency of code-related inquiries, both by DSD in July and May 2026, could indicate ongoing compliance monitoring, though specific details of these issues are not provided in the records.

Risk rating

How 5512 Jim Hogg 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.

Neighborhood percentile
