SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A report says a cracked window in the sinking Millennium Tower in San Francisco wasn’t caused by its infamous tilting and settling.
The San Francisco Chronicle says a forensic report to city officials on Tuesday said the crack in the window on the 36th floor was caused by an “exterior impact” - although it doesn’t suggest what struck the glass.
The cracked window in the 58-story Millennium Tower was discovered on Sept. 2. It’s been taped up and a replacement window has been ordered.
The downtown tower has settled about 18 inches (45 centimeters) since it opened over a former landfill in 2009. Several engineering reports have deemed it safe.
However, homeowners have filed multiple lawsuits against the developer and the city.
