140-148 Varennes St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The five-unit multi-family residential building at 140-148 Varennes Street in Telegraph Hill, built in 1906, has experienced several notable maintenance events over its history. Most recently, in March 2021, the front staircase underwent dry rot repair costing $10,000, demonstrating ongoing maintenance attention to structural elements.

The building has a documented history of addressing dry rot issues, with similar repairs performed on the rear stairway in 1989. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in November 2005, all of which were promptly addressed and abated by December 9, 2005, including issues with wood stairs, the need for fire extinguishers, and general building maintenance concerns - all of which suggest a period of attention to safety compliance requirements.

The building underwent a routine housing inspection in March 2002 that was resolved on the same day, and records show previous improvements like window installation (though the permit from 1997 is listed as expired). The most recent documented incident was a routine disposal matter in March 2021 involving a Christmas tree pickup, which was resolved by Recology. Notably, there have been no fire incidents recorded at this address, suggesting an overall good track record with respect to fire safety systems since the 2005 violations were addressed.
