Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 5705 Cougar Drive in Garrison Park, owned by Qu Yan and constructed in 1982, has experienced recurring property abatement issues over the past seven years, with three formal code complaints recorded between 2023 and 2025, all of which have been closed. The building's maintenance and public services record shows a total of 13 service requests to various Austin city departments during this period. Most recently, there were multiple requests in spring 2026 related to waste management, including compost and garbage services from Austin Resource Recovery, as well as a curb/gutter repair request to the Transportation and Public Works department. The property has also generated service requests for bulk waste removal (November 2025) and parking violation enforcement (November 2025), both of which have been resolved. While the recurrence of property abatement complaints warrants attention, it's noteworthy that these cases have all been closed without indicating whether they were resolved or resulted in further action.

Risk rating

How 5705 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.
