Back in June, after the building tilted nearly three more inches to the west toward Fremont Street in a matter of months...

OK. That’s not good. It was tilting at the rate of 3 inches per year. The total tilt is now over 2 *feet*. It’s enough tilt that some plumbing lines in the building no longer properly drain due to lack of slope.

Located in San Francisco’s financial district at Fremont and Mission Streets and next to the Salesforce Transit Center and a bus terminal, the Millennium Tower is a 58-story, 645-foot-tall tower, and it is the tallest residential building in the city

I seem to recall that the Transit Center has not opened....as has a similar problem....anyone know the update on Transit Center....?

Thanks for the link.

The fix engineer, Ron Hamburger, has admitted that his team didn’t guide the contractor they hired, Shimmick Construction, on how to stop the tower from sinking and titling as they drilled and dug into the ground.

This reads like it's some kind of parody. Has it been dubbed the Leaning Tower of Pelosi? Nothing a little Botox can't freeze into position.
