49-59 Varennes St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 49-59 Varennes St in Telegraph Hill, owned by Raymond Kwok-yan Wong, was constructed in 1906 and has experienced several maintenance and compliance events over the years. Most notably, in 2013, the building was subject to violations regarding weatherproofing and potential lead paint hazards on the exterior siding, though these issues were resolved by August 2013.

In 2011, significant repairs were made to address dry rot in approximately 20 steps at the back of the building, costing $2,000. Earlier maintenance included a reroofing project in 2007 costing $12,400 and exterior painting of two sides in 2003, while street space permits were issued in 2013.

More recently, there has been ongoing attention to street cleaning around the property, with numerous 311 calls in 2022-2025 regarding various debris issues including reports of electronic waste, general garbage, and instances of human or animal waste on the street. These cleaning matters, while not directly related to the building's condition, indicate some challenges with the immediate neighborhood environment. The property has had regular routine housing inspections in 2000 and 2005, with no significant issues reported during those inspections.
