20-24 Varennes St, San Francisco, CA 94133

20-24 Varennes Street is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1914, currently owned by Wong Chock Wai & Kit Yee 19. The property experienced a significant cluster of building violations in May 2005, when inspectors identified multiple safety concerns including wooden stair repairs needed, fire extinguisher recharging requirements, and issues with smoke detectors and emergency exits. These violations were formally documented through Notices of Violation and apparently resolved within a month, with records showing they were abated by June 2005.

The building underwent routine housing inspections in both 2000 and 2005, with the 2005 inspection being particularly thorough. In recent years, the property has experienced several external maintenance and safety incidents typical of urban environments, though none indicate major building safety issues. These include multiple reports of graffiti on the residential building between 2017-2018 (all reportedly addressed by the owner), two documented instances of toters being left out improperly in 2018, and various street cleaning and waste removal requests.

The most recent building-related incident was a false alarm system activation with no fire or civilian injuries. The building's permit history shows several street space permits issued in July 2006, though no other permits or major renovations are documented since that time. The property has experienced typical urban neighborhood issues in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding street cleaning, abandoned items, and occasionally reported encampments, though these were primarily related to the public space outside the building rather than the building itself.
