42-44 Varennes St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 42-44 Varennes Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Dustin Marzalek, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years. Most notably, in 2018, the property underwent a substantial interior upgrade including a full bathroom and kitchen remodel with new cabinets, electrical system improvements (installation of outlets, smoke detectors, lighting), and plumbing work, with permits totaling approximately $22,000.

The building has had multiple maintenance and compliance issues in the past, including a routine housing inspection in 2005 that revealed several fire safety concerns (fire extinguisher charging, gas utility shutoff tools), structural issues (wood stairs repairs), and concerns about emergency exits and smoke detectors, all of which were subsequently addressed and abated by July 2005. More recent history shows continued attention to building infrastructure, including recent sidewalk repair/replacement work filed in September 2022, though the specific outcome of this permit is unclear from the provided data.

In 2013, a complaint regarding peeling paint with potential lead concerns was filed, along with a weatherproofing issue on the siding, though these complaints were marked as not active by April 2013. The property has also experienced recurring street cleaning issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2022 and 2024, primarily relating to loose garbage and animal waste on adjacent public spaces, though these external issues do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions. The most recent activity at the address includes parking enforcement in response to a sidewalk parking issue in September 2023, demonstrating ongoing monitoring of neighborhood compliance with local regulations.
