Supervisors press DBI and utilities over Millennium Tower settlement, peer‑review records
Summary
At a Nov. 17 follow‑up hearing on 301 Mission (Millennium Tower) supervisors questioned DBI, plan reviewers and PUC about peer‑review scope, retention of peer‑review instructions, dewatering monitoring and sewer/lateral impacts. DBI acknowledged gaps in records and some limits in the department—s ability to review effects beyond property lines at the time of early peer reviews.
The Government Audit and Oversight Committee continued an extended inquiry into the condition of 301 Mission Street (Millennium Tower) on Nov. 17, focusing on peer review records, notices of violation and the cumulative monitoring of nearby construction and dewatering.
Chair Aaron Peskin opened the third hearing in the series and asked Department of Building Inspection (DBI) Director Tom Huey and technical staff to update the committee on peer review and enforcement actions.
