FILE – This Sept. 26, 2016, file photo, shows the Millennium Tower in San Francisco. City inspectors have issued a violation to management of the Millennium Tower, after a large crack formed in a 36th floor window of the building. Officials have blocked off part of the sidewalk as a precaution and ordered management to report back this week on the extent of the problem and soundness of the building’s facade. The 58-story Millennium Tower, which is sinking and tilting, has been dubbed the Leaning Tower of San Francisco. (AP Photo/Eric Risberg, File) FX311 FX311
