Flux from the active nucleus of NGC 4151 has been monitored for as many nights as possible within not greater than 3-week periods in 1987, 1988, and 1989 at optical wavelengths, in order to detect the shortest period in its temporal variability. The galaxy has been shown to be in a quiescent phase during each of the 18- and 20-night periods in 1987 and 1988, but a jump of 0.234 mag was observed in the U-band over just seven nights during the 21-night period in 1989.
