The 191-foot 150,000-ton tower was begun in 1173 as a belfry for the nearby cathedral and has been leaning to the south since its third story was added in 1274.
In 1934 ballast was pumped into the foundation masonry, only serving to push the tower further, while an attempt to freeze the surrounding earth and limit its vibration in 1995 sent it lurching 0.09 inch in one night, around 10% of the lean that the commission had corrected since 1990.

Ron Eudaly, while doing part time work for Renaissance Radio, stated that Renaissance Radio had not lighted their centermost antenna structure because the tower had radio frequency (``RF'') potential at its base and equipment had not been installed to isolate the station's RF signal from the wiring of the structure's lighting system.
Renaissance Radio's antenna structure #1222577 must exhibit red obstruction lighting at night because the structure's antenna structure registration requires it and because the structure exceeds 200 feet in height.6 On November 13, 2002, Renaissance Radio did not have any electrical service for powering tower lights on their centermost tower.
Based on the evidence before us, we find that Renaissance Radio willfully7 and repeatedly8 violated Sections 11.35(a), 17.51(a), and 73.49 of the Rules by failing to have operational EAS equipment, failing to exhibit red obstruction lighting, and failing to provide an effective locked fence around the base of the radiating antenna tower.
