Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building located at 3-5 Wall Place in Nob Hill is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907, currently owned by Albert Wei Kin Jang. The building's documented history shows relatively minimal maintenance work, with the most significant being the installation of six aluminum windows in 1990.

The property has experienced a persistent pattern of parking-related issues in recent years, particularly between 2021 and 2024, with multiple citations issued to vehicles illegally parked in the area. During this period, there were at least eleven documented incidents of illegal parking, with four resulting in citations being issued (two in October 2023, one in March 2024, and one in January 2021) while others were either not validated or the offending vehicles could not be located. The only other recorded incident affecting the property was a non-offensive graffiti incident in July 2022, which was resolved by August 2022. This pattern of parking enforcement issues, while primarily street-related, may indicate ongoing challenges with local parking management in the vicinity of the building.

Risk rating

How 3-5 Wall 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.
