Initial analysis

The fourplex at 10401 Brownie Drive in North Lamar, owned by Karner Franz A, has experienced several concerning incidents in recent years, particularly during 2023-2026. Most notably, there was a series of four property abatement complaints in the summer of 2023, all classified as priority 5 and subsequently closed. The building has also been subject to multiple animal-related incidents in 2026, including three animal bite cases, a vicious dog complaint, and an injured/sick animal report, all of which were handled by Austin Animal Services and have been marked as closed. Additionally, there were two service requests on October 14, 2025, one for a code officer request through Austin Development Services and another regarding street debris through Austin Transportation and Public Works, both of which were resolved. While not all issues directly impact resident safety, the concentration of property abatement complaints and animal-related incidents suggests ongoing challenges that have required multiple interventions over the past few years.

Risk rating

How 10401 Brownie 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

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.
