The 58-story Millennium Tower in the Transbay district of San Francisco, which has sunk 18 in. and is tilting 2 in., is under even more scrutiny for possible structural defects since a window on the 36th floor cracked.
Pacific Gas & Electric Co. was increasing vegetation and fire safety standards even before a Cal Fire report released this month concluded that the company’s electric power lines caused the 12 Northern California fires that burned some 245,000 acres in October.
San Francisco building inspectors have scheduled a March 6 division hearing to address the apparent fire safety risk at Millennium Tower, the city's tilting and sinking high-rise.
