The mission of the City of Austin Code Department is to provide quality education and enforcement of city codes and ordinances for our citizens so that Austin will be a more livable city. City codes and ordinances have been created to protect the health, safety, and quality of life for the citizens of Austin. Austin Code investigates reports of most code violations and ensures that the standards required by City codes are met. Austin Code works closely with local authorities, contractors and other City departments to bring properties into compliance. Austin Code has divided the City into four districts (North, South, East and West) with between seven and nine inspectors assigned to each district. Assigning inspectors to a specific district allows inspectors to get to know the neighborhoods and citizens in the area. Some of the most common violations reported are dangerous structures, substandard living conditions, tall weeds and grass, trash and debris, illegal dumping and illegal signs. Austin Code also has a "Commercial Investigation Unit" that focuses exclusively on investigating reports of work being done without the required city permits. Quality of life is all our responsibility and we encourage all members of the community to call 3-1-1 if you see anything that could be a possible code violation. Don't forget! You can always call anonymously!
The APD Burglary Unit was created in June 2011 in order to centralize the investigation of residential, non-residential, and commercial burglaries in the City of Austin. Currently the unit is comprised of 14 detectives, two sergeants, one crime analyst and one administrative specialist. There were over 8,700 reported residential and commercial burglaries in the city of Austin in 2010. By centralizing all the city of Austin burglary investigations into one unit APD’s Burglary Unit can collect, investigate, and analyze information regarding burglaries committed citywide to identify the patterns and methods of burglars. With this vital information centralized, burglary detectives can focus department resources on the investigation, apprehension, and successful prosecution of these burglars. The Burglary Unit works with other units within the department, such as the APD District Representatives Unit, APD Pawn Unit, and the Austin Regional Intelligence Unit as well as other local agencies to identify suspects who commit crimes in adjoining jurisdictions.
