Garrison Park, Austin TX 78745 0415120808 4 units · 1982

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The fourplex at 5905 Cougar Drive, located in the Garrison Park neighborhood, is a 1982-built residential property currently owned by Tong Hy. The building's documented service history over the past seven years shows a total of six 311 service requests, with the most recent cluster of incidents occurring between June and December 2025. During this period, three separate garbage-related issues were reported to Austin Resource Recovery, suggesting potential challenges with waste management or disposal procedures at the property. Additionally, in May 2026, there were three more diverse service requests including an animal protection case regarding a loose dog (handled by Austin Animal Services), a tree issue in the right-of-way (addressed by Austin Transportation and Public Works), and an unspecified matter through the 311 Command Center. While the frequency of service requests is relatively low for a multi-unit residential building, the concentration of waste management issues during 2025 and the variety of recent service requests in 2026 warrants attention to the building's maintenance and community safety interactions.

Risk rating

How 5905 Cougar 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

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.
