126-128 Varennes St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The two-unit residential building at 126-128 Varennes Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Howard J Wong and Yuet Yin Wong, was constructed in 1903 and features two stories. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably in 2019 when five non-historic aluminum windows were replaced with energy-efficient aluminum-clad wood windows (U-factor 0.32), representing a $7,000 investment in building facade improvement.

Earlier renovations include a comprehensive kitchen remodel in 2004 ($15,000) that included cabinet and appliance replacement along with electrical upgrades consisting of new lighting, switches, receptacles, and circuits. The building has experienced some challenges with sewer issues, reporting three separate sewage backup incidents (in 2014, 2015, and 2015) involving a 4-inch vent line, all of which were resolved through PUC Sewer Operations.

More recently, there were two parking enforcement incidents in 2022 involving a black Toyota vehicle blocking the driveway, with one resulting in a citation. Other recorded events include a construction noise complaint in 2020 (though this was determined to be related to the neighboring property at 124 Varennes), a temporary moving sign request in 2018, and various old permits for roofing and vinyl siding work from the 1990s. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with no recent permits or major incidents that would impact resident safety or comfort.
