Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 15-19 Wayne Place in Nob Hill, owned by Pml Wayne Llc, was constructed in 1913 and contains three apartment units. The building has undergone several notable inspections and permit activities over the years, with its most significant issues occurring during a routine inspection in October 2004 that revealed multiple violations requiring correction. These violations, which were all ultimately abated by May 2005, included various plumbing issues, stair repairs, fire extinguisher requirements, and guardrail installation needs. A street space permit was issued in 2010, and the building underwent a routine safety inspection in 2015.

Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of parking-related issues, with multiple complaints about blocked driveways and illegal parking between 2020 and 2023. The most recent concern, logged in November 2024, involves a missing side sewer vent cover that remains open as of now. Between 2020 and 2021, there were several reports of loose garbage and general cleaning needs in the surrounding area, all of which were resolved. The building's documented history shows that while there were significant safety concerns in 2004-2005, there have been no major violations reported in recent years, though the missing sewer vent cover may warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 15-19 Wayne Pl's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
66th percentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 382 are predicted to be safer.
