The NYPD warned of traffic delays and street closures around the area.
Inspectors with the city’s Department of Buildings are at the scene “assisting with recovery operations and conducting structural stability inspections of nearby buildings,” the agency said.
“We’re closely monitoring the building collapse on Bedford Avenue in Flatbush,” New York City Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams wrote on X. “We’re praying for the safety of anyone who may be trapped and for the first responders working to reach them. Our thoughts are with everyone affected and their loved ones.”
