Joe Montana wants to straighten something out about his
condominium in San Francisco.
The floor, that is. Montana told TMZ his high-end condo is
totally slanted and getting worse — which is why the 49ers
legend is part of a lawsuit filed against the owners of
Millennium Tower.
The tower has sunk 16 inches since it’s completion in 2008,
according to Montana. His unit, which he said he bought for $2.7
million in 2013, is “off level and the fit and finish of the
unit are in disrepair.”
A twist: Montana was contracted to promote Millennium Tower from
2010-15.
That is not preventing Montana from claiming the builders knew
about the issue since 2009 and hid information about it from
buyers and residents.
TMZ reports that Montana is demanding $1 million for breach of
contract, negligence, concealment, nuisance and more.
News of the lawsuit leaked in March, with Montana joined, among
others, by Giants outfielder Hunter Pence and ex-49ers executive
Carmen Policy. TMZ’s attempts to contact Millennium Towers
owners yielded nothing.

Some finger pointing at the bus terminal across the street, but they say
the building was sinking even before they started.

might affect the tower, however, if the Tower had used pilings and a
very bad soil area, it wouldn't have mattered what they'd done at the
Terminal project.
It was project that the tower would sink a bit in any case, but evenly
and only a certain number of inches. The finger remains pointed at the
group that decided to use the floating system and the city for
allowing it.
