San Francisco building officials ordered a complete structural inspection of the façade of the building where a 43rd floor window shattered in high winds and fell to the pavement of the Financial District, according to building inspection documents.
inspectors ordered the owners of 555 California Street to inspect all of the windows in the 52-story structure
to assure they’re safe. But that inspection order was expanded Thursday to require that the high-rise’s “exterior facades surveyed by a California licensed architect or engineer to ensure stability of all facade elements.” Since the photos were taken, the window that broke and a cracked window around the corner of the building have been reinforced with plywood.
Building inspectors went to the site on both Tuesday and Wednesday, records show, which also indicate replacement windows have been ordered. The building is owned by Vornado Realty Trust, along with a minority ownership by former president Donald Trump. Vornado officials have declined to comment.
