120-124 Varennes St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 120-124 Varennes Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Telegraph Hill, built in 1904 and owned by Michael Kirwan. The building has undergone several significant renovation efforts over recent years, with major work completed in 2019 including interior remodeling of both flats, window replacements, and other exterior improvements costing $355,000.

In 2022, substantial updates were made including new kitchens and bathrooms throughout, installation of new furnaces for both units, and electrical work including new subpanels and fixtures, all properly permitted and completed. The building's renovation history shows several withdrawn or cancelled permits, including attempts for foundation replacement, vertical additions, and garage modifications. More recently, there have been multiple complaints during the construction period of 2022 regarding construction site security, dust control, and unauthorized access concerns, particularly during February 2022 when there were reports of break-ins and inadequate construction site security affecting neighboring properties.

These issues were reported through the 311 system and various building complaints, with several cases noting concerns from neighbors about security and safety during construction. The most recent building complaint from February 2023 documented issues with dust control and construction site management. While many of these construction-related issues appear to have been resolved following the completion of major work, they represent significant concerns from the building's recent history.
