Initial analysis

The 601 W St Johns Ave apartment complex in the Highland neighborhood, owned by Eqr-St Johns Lp, is a 100-unit building constructed in 2020. The property has experienced a notable number of incidents over the past seven years, with 26 code complaints, 6 code violations, 14 building permits, and 169 service requests. Most concerning is the recent pattern of structure condition violations, with six such complaints logged in July-August 2025 alone, though currently, only one complaint from March 2026 remains active. The building has undergone some infrastructure improvements, including a solar PV system installation (permit expired) and the recent upgrading of EV chargers from 3 to 5 units in early 2025. The property management has been responsive to various municipal service requests, including multiple traffic signal modifications and maintenance issues, although there are currently two open service requests from 2026: one related to short-term rental complaints and another regarding traffic signal modifications. While the building appears to be actively maintained, the recurring structure condition violations from 2025 warrant attention, though most complaints during that period were ultimately closed.

Risk rating

How 601 W St Johns 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.
