Initial analysis

The property at 155 Wayland Street is a two-unit residential building located in San Francisco's Portola neighborhood. Built in 1900, this two-story flats and duplex structure is currently owned by the Fossett Family Trust. The building's maintenance records show several significant events, most notably the re-roofing work completed in 2020 at a cost of $16,400, and a drywall installation project in 2015 to comply with a violation notice, which involved covering approximately 350 square feet of garage walls. This violation was originally reported in March 2015 concerning unpermitted construction of an illegal unit in the garage area, which resulted in a $52 monthly monitoring fee; however, the violation was officially abated by April 2016.

In recent months, the property has experienced considerable issues with illegal parking in the vicinity, particularly during early 2024, with multiple complaints about sidewalk parking and blocked driveways. Records indicate at least seven parking-related violations between February and July 2024, with several resulting in citations being issued. The only recent non-parking related complaint was regarding garbage and debris, which was resolved in December 2024. It's worth noting that all historical building violations have been resolved, including the 2015 garage drywall issue, and there are currently no active building violations on record.

Risk rating

How 155 Wayland St'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

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 73.6%
Moderate concern 19.6%
Severe concern 6.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
