What it usually is
Wobble is often loose blade screws, a loose mounting bracket or one unbalanced blade. A fan that shakes hard may need a better support for the box, or a new fan.
What to do first
Turn the fan off, and tighten the blade and bracket screws only if you can reach them safely. Do not run a fan that shakes hard.

Hilltop is an older Tacoma neighborhood of early and mid-1900s homes, small apartment buildings and newer infill. In Hilltop, a mix of old and new work on the same street means supply and drain pipe can be very different from one house to the next.
