153-159 Varennes St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 153-159 Varennes Street in Telegraph Hill is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1902, currently owned by Oconnell Living Trust, containing 4 units. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a street space permit issued in 2016. In 2012, substantial window improvements were completed at a cost of $15,000, and in 2011, the building underwent reroofing work valued at $19,000.

Between 2000 and 2001, the property underwent several structural enhancements, including foundation work, dry rot repairs, and voluntary seismic upgrades, though some of these permits expired. The building has had three routine housing inspections (2002, 2006, and 2016), during which various safety and maintenance issues were identified and subsequently resolved. Notable violations from 2006 included requirements for hot water heater seismic bracing, gas utility shutoff tools, and gas meter instructional diagrams, while the 2016 inspection cited concerns about damaged paint creating potential lead hazards and issues with the fire escape drop ladder.

Recent years have seen a variety of 311 calls related to the property's vicinity, including street cleaning requests and hazardous waste inspections. Two encampment cleanup operations were conducted near the property in 2018, and there were instances of sidewalk sanitation issues reported in 2015. Planning records indicate closed variance requests for building a rear deck at the first-floor level, though there are no recent tenant buyout records associated with the address.
