Initial analysis

The property at 151-155 Waverly Place is a three-story mixed-use building constructed in 1906, containing 4 residential units and commercial ground-floor spaces, currently owned by Mei Ling Louie Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over its history, with the most recent work completed in September 2023 focusing on accessibility compliance for two retail spaces, including the installation of doorbells and accessible hardware. In early 2023, there were two building complaints filed regarding unpermitted work and unauthorized signage by commercial tenants, though these complaints are currently not active. Notably, the building underwent seismic retrofitting in 1995, with substantial structural improvements including steel frames and wall anchors. Earlier improvements include window upgrades in 1984 (installation of twelve aluminum windows), an electrical underground conversion completed in 2004, and multiple use modifications between 1982-1993 to adapt the building's layout and usage.

The building has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness and maintenance in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2017-2023. These reports primarily documented general cleaning needs and graffiti incidents on public property and city receptacles, all of which were resolved through appropriate city services. The most recent accessibility improvements demonstrate ongoing efforts to maintain and upgrade the building's facilities, particularly in response to modern compliance requirements. While there was an abatement order from 1994, its status is listed as expired, and no recent similar violations have been recorded.

Risk rating

How 151-155 Waverly 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.
