‘X’ on Twitter’s Headquarters Faces Investigation Over Permit Violations
On Monday, workers dismantled the giant “X” sign that was only briefly displayed on the roof of Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco. Read about that here.
An “X” sign installed on Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters on Friday as part of the company’s rebranding is under investigation by the city for lacking proper permits, according to officials.
“A building permit is required to make sure the sign is structurally sound and installed safely,” Patrick Hannan, a spokesman for the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection, said in a statement on Sunday. “Planning review and approval is also necessary for the installation of this sign.”
An inspector went to the Twitter headquarters on Friday to notify the company that it was in violation and to request access to the roof to inspect the sign, according to a complaint filed with the city.
