D trains are bypassing 18th Avenue in both directions.
The initial call came in at about 7 a.m. at the building on New Utrecht Avenue in Bensonhurst.
It took firefighters over two hours to bring the fire under control. There were no injuries.
The building sits directly under the elevated train line.
