The president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors says that he wants comprehensive window inspections of all downtown high-rises after multiple windows broke at the Salesforce East building and the Millennium Tower during Tuesday's windstorm.
Public documents show that the city Department of Building Inspection issued a notice of violation against the building late Tuesday, ordering that its façade be inspected within 14 days.
“It came down pretty hard, I thought it was just like hail and I realized afterwards that it was glass after it didn’t melt when it hit the ground,” said Edwin Young, who tells us he was walking by the Salesforce East during Tuesday’s storm. On Wednesday, Millennium Tower spokesman Doug Elmets confirmed that one dual paned window did break during Tuesday's storm, but says most of the glass pieces ended up inside the unit. He conceded some may have fallen, but said the area of impact was covered by scaffolding.
Elmets also acknowledged “the window in the condominium was not closed.” -- Despite warnings to residents, from building management, to keep windows closed.
