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.

San Francisco's reparations plan will lead to this surprising outcome for Blacks like meThe plan in San Francisco to provide reparations for every eligible Black adult is hard to believe. It's the definition of political insanity and would only deepen our racial divide. WesleyHuntTX Are you kidding me? WesleyHuntTX A lot of truth in that OpEd. The Dems will throw the kitchen sink at Black Voters and will lie to them at all costs. What about all the Italians, Irish, Poles, and more that came to the US at turn of the century? Long after Emancipation Proc. Cali is already a fiscal disaster🤣 WesleyHuntTX Every victim of these thugs deserves reparation from those same families that have burned, looted, raped, and murdered those in their community.
