Initial analysis

The East Congress property at 209 Sheraton Ave, owned by Kirsten Rechnitz and Mason Merrill, is a single-unit additional living quarter structure built in 2012. Over the past seven years, the building has experienced minimal documented issues, with only one known code violation and one code complaint case. Notably, in June 2026, there was a work without permit complaint that led to both a code complaint case and a corresponding service request, though both cases have since been closed. The property has had three building permits issued during this period, suggesting some authorized modifications or improvements were made. There is a substantial record of service requests from 2025-2026, primarily related to waste management (including multiple requests for garbage, bulk, and compost services through Austin Resource Recovery), indicating active engagement with city services for routine upkeep. Additionally, there were two other service requests - one regarding a sick/injured animal in February 2026 and a short-term rental complaint in January 2026, both of which have been resolved. While the frequency of service requests might suggest some ongoing maintenance or compliance monitoring needs, most of these requests relate to standard municipal services rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 209 Sheraton 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
80thpercentile

Out of 35 buildings in this neighborhood, 7 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
