The Insider reports:

San Francisco authorities say they still can’t access X, formally Twitter’s, headquarters to inspect Elon Musk’s new sign. According to complaints filed by the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection, the company denied a San Francisco city representative access to the building on Friday and Saturday when they attempted to inspect the new light-up structure. A Twitter representative said that the structure was “a temporary lighted sign for an event,” per the complaint. These representatives issued a notice of violation for an “unsafe sign” and for work without a permit.

San Francisco’s NBC affiliate reports:



Christopher Beale, a journalist, producer and audio engineer with KQED, lives across the street from the building and said he saw construction on the building throughout the week and on the rooftop, but was not expecting the bright lights. “Around 11 last night they had it at full blast, strobing, and it lit this entire area up like it was daylight,” Beale told KTVU. “Even with the shades down it was to the point where we couldn’t even watch the movie we were trying to watch in the living room and we had to move to the other side of the apartment.”
