If your sills were shot and your
timbers was okay, I’d say fix her up.

But your sills are shot

LOL....”which was built atop a former landfill”...This is where I stopped reading. I wouldn’t build a garage over a landfill and I’m not an engineer. Just a guy with common sense!.

Just go to Harbor Freight and buy a shitload of bottle jacks. Problem solved.

I think they just cut some shims off scrap lumber and hammer ‘em under and tack them in place. Well, that’s what I do with cabinets, anyway…

They're worrying over nothing. It's not like buildings are just going to up and collapse or anything.
But I could be wrong about that...

Seems like a lot of folks in San Francisco have “plumbing issues”.

I assume being San Francisco the ‘engineers’ were chosen based on inclusivity...
3 gays who cross dress and steal women’s luggage at airports
two black engineers who were ‘math challenged’ and were accepted to MIT based on skin color,
and 2 women with IQ’s in the 105 rages who ‘feel’ this can be done... but don’t want to talk about it.

One sign that the building should be cleared and condemned is that the elevators will stop working as the tilt increases. Also utilities such as water and sewer lines will start to fail.Another sign is when the building falls over.

Not among the big buildings downtown. I was there that day, on Sansome St. I had to rescue my great-uncle from his apartment in the Marina (his building didn’t collapse, but the pipes were all broken and it was unlivable).

All the buildings further out than, I think, Market and Montgomery are built on landfill. There is a marker there indicating the shoreline of 1849. There are a lot of 30+ story buildings built on landfill, and they have stood, some of them, for 50 years. I worked 30 years in one of those big buildings.

Maybe 1/4 of SF’s business district is built on landfill. Its been going on for over a century.

Some are “end bearing” and some are “side friction supported”. Both tpes are used.
