Thousands could die and nothing has been done.
They knew it was a failing building in 2009 and nothing has been done.
I am writing from the top floors of Millennium Towers as the building creaks in a wind-storm while the epic rain is soaking it’s foundations and the building is still sinking and leaning and nothing has been done.
Lawsuits have been filed and nothing has been done.
More lawsuits have been filed and nothing has been done.
The hard facts have been revealed that prove that San Francisco slams up buildings in order to pocket bribe money and nobody cares about building safety and still nothing has been done.
The very same people who have lied about every single aspect of the Millennium Towers say to not worry, it probably won’t fall down!
IS ANYONE DUMB ENOUGH TO STILL BELIEVE THEM?
Millennium Towers and everything within a 3 block radius of the building should be evacuated now and the building removed. The building next to it now has stability problems as well.
SAN FRANCISCO IS INCAPABLE OF DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE CORRUPTION IN SAN FRANCISCO CITY HALL!
PEOPLE WILL DIE AND THIS NEWS REPORT WILL BE PART OF THE NEGLIGENCE LAWSUITS!
Millennium Tower homeowners sue developer, city agencies for fraud over sinking debacle
A group of Millennium Tower homeowners have sued
Millennium Partners, San Francisco’s Department of Building Inspection, the City Attorney and the
Transbay Joint Powers Authority for fraud for allegedly conspiring to withhold information about the building’s sinking.
The 20 plaintiffs, headed by lead plaintiff Pamela Buttery and represented by homeowner and attorney Gerald Dodson, represent more than $75 million of property ownership in the tower between them.
The legal action, which follows a civil claim filed in November against the parties, alleges that Millennium Partners sold the multi-million dollar condos without disclosing the sinking and tilting to homeowners. In December, the TJPA and the City Attorney rejected the plaintiff’s claims for damages as untimely, prompting the lawsuit.
Dodson previously told the Business Times that potential damages could include full restitution of homeowners’ condo purchases.
The lawsuit alleges the existence of documents that prove the city’s Department of Building Inspection knew the building was sinking back in February of 2009 – before homeowners moved in – and took no action to protect buyers.
Additionally, the lawsuit alleges collusion between the City Attorney’s Office and TJPA with Millennium Partners in the form of a Confidentiality Agreement that ensured homeowners would not be informed about the tower’s issues with sinking and tilting.
NBC had previously reported the existence of the February 2010 confidentiality agreement, which the city attorney’s office said was not meant to suppress information, but was instead related to a potential financial settlement between the developer and the city.
The lawsuit also underlines the decision of the Department of Building Inspection not to require an independent peer review of the building’s foundation as evidence of the fraud. The suit cites hidden correspondence between building inspection staff and Millennium Partners over possible public safety issues due to the tower’s sinking.
According to the lawsuit, the TJPA hid information about the tower’s sinking and tilting in a tit-for-tat that would allow the Transbay terminal to be built under existing construction plans. The lawsuit alleges that an agreement between TJPA and Millennium Partners for the public agency to be liable for any damage that construction did to the tower was meant to pass the buck for the responsibility of the tower’s sinking to the TJPA.
