39-43 Wayne Pl, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story multi-family residential building at 39-43 Wayne Place in Nob Hill, owned by Carson Dang, was constructed in 1915 and contains four units. The property has undergone several significant safety-related improvements over its history, including the installation of an auto fire sprinkler system in the basement storage area in 1992 (permit expired), and new windows were installed in 2000 (permit expired). In 1983, the building underwent a major compliance update to address various safety requirements.

The building underwent routine inspections in 2004, 2007, and 2011, revealing multiple safety issues in 2004 that were subsequently addressed and abated by February 2005, including concerns about fire safety, handrails, exterior stairs, and seismic bracing of water heater storage tanks. In recent years, the building has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, with multiple reports of graffiti (most recently in 2024), including recent incidents in October 2024 and September 2024. The property has also had several 311 calls regarding street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance between 2021 and 2024, though these were generally handled promptly.

The most recent building permit activity recorded was a street space permit issued in 2015. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, many historical violations and complaints have been addressed, and there have been no active violations on record since 2005. The property's history suggests regular inspections and oversight by Housing Inspection Services have helped maintain basic safety standards, though periodic maintenance issues, particularly regarding graffiti, have persisted.
