Initial analysis

The fourplex at 8114 Sonnet Avenue in Westover Hills, owned by Chan Kar-Hoe and Yiyin Wang, has been in operation since 1970 and comprises 4 units. The building's record over the past seven years shows minimal code violations, with only one code complaint recorded in April 2026 regarding property abatement, which has since been resolved. The property has generated several service requests between late 2025 and mid-2026, including two separate requests for code officer inspections (December 2025 and March 2026), a sidewalk repair request (February 2026), and a debris-related complaint (April 2026), all of which have been closed. In addition, there was one request for pet resource assistance through the Austin Animal Services (May 2026), which was also resolved. While the number of service requests might indicate some attention required from various city departments, it's worth noting that all issues have been closed and there have been no documented recurring problems or safety concerns during this period.

Risk rating

How 8114 Sonnet 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.
