The storm that whipped through SF is now suspected of triggering failures of as many as 20 or more windows of the Salesforce Tower as well at least one window at the nearby Millennium Tower high-rise, prompting the closure of Mission Street overnight.
The area immediately around that building was secured as a precaution and no one injured. That failure came a week after a 43floor window failed in an earlier storm at the former Bank of America building at 555 California Street. The owner has been cited and given 14 days to inspect the façade of the structure to assure it is stable.
After coming to the 50 California Street on Tuesday, according to Patrick Hannan, spokesman for the Department of Building Inspection, teams of inspectors discovered multiple cracked or failed windows between the 11 floors of the Salesforce building on the Mission Street side. Hannan said that as of Tuesday night, at least one window was found to be cracked on each of those floors. floor of the Millennium Tower that had failed as of Tuesday night.
San Francisco Fire Capt. Jonathan Baxter said that fire crews -- dispatched for a tree down on Mission Street -- observed “issues related to the windows” at the Millennium Tower. Baxter did not have any further details and had no information on any failed window failures at Salesforce. He said the 300 block of Mission was closed overnight as a precaution related to the failed window found at the Millennium at 301 Mission. The Salesforce is at 350 Mission.
Hannan, the building inspection department spokesman, said crews were checking all three locations doing inspections Tuesday night. “In all three situations, we sent inspectors out for emergency response, they are evaluating the situation and coordinate with building management,” Hannan said.
