Joe Montana Sues Developer Of San Francisco's Sinking Millennium Tower

[@stanleyolszewski7701]

He should be filing suit against the city building department for approving the plans as well.

[@kansasthunderman1]

That building is doomed and without an adequate foundation, it will tip over in a moderate size earthquake.

[@kathyrogers2065]

4 years later the MT is tipping over.

[@kqa2893]

Your prediction may come true. It’s sunk more since this news story.

[@kansasthunderman1]

​@@kqa2893 The building has high end appliances and fixtures that might have good resale value. The homeowner's association should hire a salvage service to remove everything of value while the elevators are still working. Once the building has been stripped clean of valuables, the HOA can hire a demolition contractor.

[@TimeSurfer206]

At this rate we won't need the earthquake. "The wise man sinks his footings into bedrock... "The fool sets them into sand."

[@j.d.contreras392]

A 7.0 will definitely bring that thing down....within seconds.

[@henrylee2964]

The lawyers should go after the: architect of record, the city for lack of doing a comprehensive plan check; the SEOR; soils engineer of record who did a faulty soils report; the contractor of record who proceeded with construction knowing the soil was soft and he didn't send in a RFI to the architect asking is it permissible to built on soft soil. . The only winners will be the lawyers. The tenants should get out of this bldg b4 it collapses.

[@KingSobieski]

It's not so bad it can't be somewhat haphazardly cobbled back together with enough tax payer money.

[@dwaynejacobs9558]

A building of this height & displacement is expected to sink 6 inches throughout it's lifespan. It has already sunk more than 20 inches and it is tilting at the same time.

[@kennethgivons710]

This is 4 years ago and we are just hearing about it on a wider scale NOW???

San Francisco Will not red tag the building, this is a capitalist society, the people who bought those units will either die or suffer. Ode to the rich

[@flaminglaughter]

Do you think Joe will be able to sell? Would you move in?

I'd be out of there so fast. Forget selling it, wouldn't want to put someone else in that deathtrap. Honestly, I'd just maintain the insurance so I'd get a payout when it finally goes.

That would be the ideal route to go. However, I doubt any insurance company would let you take out a policy on such a liability.

When the millennium tower sinks, it will be a good foundation to build something else on top of it.

[@hermanrogers1325]

If it tilts 18 degrees it will fall over be cause of the weight at the top

Demolish it , it's cheaper for a new building ,

I agree with you , time to take it down . These people still living in the building saying they are going to stay ! Well you know that old saying, you can't fix stupid. This building will be a challenge to take down . Can you imagine the lost of life if it was to fall over ?

Time to go down with mother nature

[@williamdurham6893]

Lift the foundation out of the water and make a solid foundation after pumping out the water and adding rock or cement or whatever. May need to start at the corners and edges of the property or building and the center or the cylinders. Its a scientific method to drain a swamp or drill a water well and pump it dry then fill it to specifications for a foundation for a specific weight and that can still be done in proportion so each section can firm correctly without weight upon it causing damage. The thing is you would probably have to invent it or find a firm to do it and sounds like they are saying it is normal settling. Sorry Mr, Montana.
