Your math is wrong. The relevant angle is not 14 inches over 58 stories, it is 14 inches over the horizontal length of the building. I'm not sure what this.

I'm not sure what this. Guessing maybe 120 feet, e.g., gives a tilt of 180/pi * arctan(14/12/120) = 0.56 degrees.
- yaakov34 9y agoSorry, you are the one with the wrong math. The building is out 14 inches at the top. You divide that by the height to get the angle. What you calculated is the lean for a building which sank 14 inches on one side. That would be way worse - an excursion of [edit] 6 feet at the top.
