While it seems the city and the homeowners association have reached an agreement on what caused a crack to an exterior window on the 36th floor of San Francisco’s Millennium Tower, there is some confusion as to what should happen next.
When experts for the Millennium Tower association determined that the cracked exterior window on the 36th floor was “due to an exterior impact (and) unrelated to building movement and settlement,” the city concurred.
But the Department of Building Inspection said the Millennium Tower Association must still “maintain the protective pedestrian scaffolding along Mission Street and Fremont Street until the exterior cracked glazing panel is replaced as a precaution to ensure public safety.”
While that scaffolding remains in place on Mission Street, it has been removed from Fremont Street. While some have said it was defying the city, the HOA tells KRON4 it was simply “a miscommunication.”
The HOA now says they will ensure public safety by visually inspecting the windows of the Millennium Tower along Fremont Street next week but not replacing the scaffolding.
City officials say it was not a miscommunication and “the HOA acknowledges their mistake in taking down scaffolding without permission from the city.”
City officials say so long as the HOA provides the city with an engineer’s inspection report next week with a finding that all of the windows on the Fremont side of the street are safe, the city will not require the HOA to reinstall the scaffolding on the Fremont side of the building.
