According to The New York Times, New York Fire Department officials said in a statement that firefighters, police and paramedics were dispatched to the area after the partial collapse of a 7-story building in the Bronx neighborhood.
Fire officials said a team including search and rescue dogs were searching for any person or persons who may have been trapped in the rubble of the partially collapsed building.
Noting that 2 people were slightly injured during the evacuation of the building, officials said that there was no loss of life in the incident.
Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh, in a statement on her X account, described the lack of loss of life as "miraculous" and said, "Judging by the scene and security camera footage, the situation could have been much worse."
A resident told the press that people had been complaining about the building's disrepair for years.
