No injuries reported after partial building collapse in the Bronx, officials say

A one-story commercial building partially collapsed in the Bronx on Monday afternoon, prompting a response from city emergency crews.

The FDNY said it received a call just before 3 p.m. about a collapse at 57 East Burnside Ave. According to the department, part of the wall gave way and collapsed on top of scaffolding and the street below.

No injuries have been reported. Photos shared by elected officials in the area show debris scattered on the sidewalk and street.

Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson said city agencies, including the Department of Buildings and emergency management, responded to the site and are monitoring the situation.

City Councilmember Pierina Sanchez also said officials were coordinating the response.

Officials urged people to avoid the area due to street closures.

The city Department of Buildings did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
