A three-story parking garage attached to an apartment complex in Pittsburgh\u2019s North Shore was condemned Thursday after it partially collapsed, trapping residents\u2019 vehicles.<\/p>\n
A condemnation notice posted on the garage at Bracken House notes a \u201cpartial structural failure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cars were still parked in the garage \u2014 which was cordoned off with police tape \u2014 early Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Molly Onufer, a spokeswoman for Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O\u2019Connor, said officials received a report that a section of concrete slab had collapsed in the garage.<\/p>\n
No one was injured, she said.<\/p>\n
Ryan Dolan, general counsel for Coastal Ridge, which manages the apartment building at 100 Anderson St., said the incident occurred late Thursday evening.<\/p>\n
Dolan said the company is working with local authorities to investigate what caused the damage.<\/p>\n
He said they are working to remove residents\u2019 vehicles as soon as they can do so safely. He did not offer a timeline of when that may occur.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe obviously understand people need their cars,\u201d Dolan said.<\/p>\n
The city\u2019s Department of Permits, Licenses and Inspections condemned the structure and ordered it to be vacated. Public safety personnel helped remove vehicles closest to the collapse, Onufer said.<\/p>\n
Bracken House, situated along the Allegheny River, sits just blocks from where the city this week is hosting the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n
The apartment complex on its website describes the site as a \u201cprime Pittsburgh location\u201d with one- and two-bedroom apartments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A three-story parking garage attached to an apartment complex in Pittsburgh\u2019s North Shore was condemned Thursday after it…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":175137,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[73,75,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-175136","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh","8":"tag-pittsburgh","9":"tag-pittsburgh-headlines","10":"tag-pittsburgh-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175136","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175136"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175136\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
