A 58-story luxury apartment building in San Francisco continues to sink and is tilting about 3 inches per year.
Construction on the Millennium Tower in San Francisco began in 2005 and was completed in 2009. According to Curbed San Francisco, the tower is the sixth-tallest building in the city. But since construction was completed, officials say the building has tilted some 26 inches north and west of where it was initially constructed.
The engineer responsible for fixing the troubled building says that without a fix, the luxury building's lean could reach a 40-inch tilt, which would be the point at which the elevators and plumbing may not continue to operate.
