Initial analysis

The two-family dwelling at 820 Sahara Ave in the Garrison Park neighborhood is a 1973 structure currently owned by Puryear Ross Tillman Etal. The building has experienced a notably high volume of service requests in the first half of 2026, with six separate incidents reported between January and June 2026, all of which have been officially closed. The majority of these requests (four) were related to bulk waste management through Austin Resource Recovery, suggesting ongoing challenges with proper waste disposal or maintenance of common areas. There was also one report to Austin Development Services requiring a Code Officer's attention, though the specific nature of this request is not detailed in the records. Notably, the only non-waste-related service request was regarding animal care, filed through Austin Animal Services in June 2026. This recent flurry of service requests, particularly regarding waste management, could indicate some operational or maintenance challenges within the building, though all issues have been addressed according to the service records.

Risk rating

How 820 Sahara 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
