Initial analysis

The 5-unit apartment building at 3712 Menchaca Rd, owned by Brehm Brian & Colleen and situated in the South Lamar neighborhood, has experienced recurring structural issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been five documented structure condition violations since 2023, with the most recent complaints being filed between July and October 2024, all of which were assigned various priority levels (including two cases marked as priority 5, indicating higher urgency). The building's maintenance history shows a concerning pattern, with multiple code officer requests being initiated through the Development Services Department between 2023 and 2024, suggesting ongoing structural concerns requiring official intervention. In addition to the code-related issues, there have been two non-emergency police incidents recorded in 2023 (one related to noise/alarm and the other to a collision), though these appear to be separate from the building's structural concerns. The property's documented issues span a significant period, with three code complaints and service requests filed in 2023, and two more in 2024, indicating a persistent pattern of structural problems that have required repeated attention from city officials.

Risk rating

How 3712 Menchaca Rd'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.
