(CNN) -- Google might need a find new home for its giant floating showroom in San Francisco Bay. No, the company isn't the latest victim of skyrocketing Bay Area real estate costs. It seems Google is under fire from state authorities for not having the proper permits necessary to construct the barge in its current location. The four-story structure is housed at Treasure Island, a small piece of land between San Francisco and Oakland. The barge rose to fame late last year as a delightful floating enigma in the San Francisco Bay. The vessel was originally spotted by a CNET reporter and Google would not comment on its purpose. People had great fun speculating about the barge, guessing that it was a floating data center, a Google Glass shop or a luxury event space.

The once mysterious barge has already delayed its opening due to inspections
That means that for now, @placeholder must relocate the Google ship to another shipbuilding facility in order to comply with state law.
