Tall Building Inventory

Inventory of tall buildings in San Francisco, focusing on attributes that are relevant to building performance during an earthquake or to post-earthquake recovery. Where possible, the attributes were collected from permitting documents at the Department of Building Inspections. As of October 1, 2018, this database includes a complete list of the 156 buildings taller than 240 ft, as well as another 24 buildings over 160 ft. For more information on the Tall Building Safety Strategy, see http://OneSanFrancisco.org/Resilient-SF.
