Can the breaking of the sound barrier cause damage to buildings?

When the sound barrier is broken, a sonic boom occurs. This is a sound wave that is actually fairly potent and it can and has in the past harmed structures or people nearby.
If the object is large enough (and for the record it doesn't have to be all that large - a small jet is capable of making a very potent sonic boom) and moves quickly enough within proximity of a structure or people, yes, it can be fairly harmful to those people and objects.
Yes, sonic booms do carry some degree of destructive force with them, especially if they occur near the vicinity of vulnerable objects or people.
