152-158 Varennes St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 152-158 Varennes Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Robert J Toy, was constructed in 1907 and has experienced several significant events over its history. Most notably, the building faced serious issues with lead paint safety in late 2011, when multiple complaints were filed regarding peeling paint, potential lead hazard violations, and improper paint removal practices.

These violations were eventually resolved by June 2013. The building's fire safety systems have also been a recurring concern, with violation notices in 2005 and 2001 citing issues with fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and fire escape ladders, though all these violations were abated by 2013.

A 2014 routine safety inspection of public and common areas was conducted, and while no major issues were reported, the building had undergone some maintenance work in the early 1990s including roofing work and an apartment remodel, as well as several minor street space permit issuances in 2012. The property's maintenance history suggests periods of both proactive upkeep and reactive responses to safety violations, with the most recent documented building inspection occurring in 2014.
