More than 70 of San Francisco’s tallest buildings – which had previously been exempt from window inspections for decades under city law – must now have complete façade checks by November.
Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin was the first to call for more inspections. He welcomed the order as a good first step as he introduced new rules Tuesday that would give building owners until November to get inspections done.
Under the emergency rules, owners of newer high rise buildings – 15-stories or taller – must commission an architect or engineer to perform checks of the entire building façade to “ensure the safety and stability of all façade elements, including windows,” according to a statement issued by the city.
The inspections, city officials say, are designed to spot cracks or other signs that windows could be at risk of failing.
