Crews respond to floor collapse in East Side building
EAST SIDE, Manhattan (WABC) -- Crews responded to a floor collapse in a building on the East Side of Manhattan.
It happened just after 2 p.m. Sunday at the building on 310 E. 50th Street between 1st and 2nd Ave.
When inspectors arrived at the scene, they say that sections of the interior floors had collapsed into the footprint of the building.
Inspectors also found that there was no waterproofing installed on the roof and the interior floors were filled with water.
The DOB says the building is vacant and is currently undergoing a permitted full demolition.
No injuries were reported.
This comes as a cleanup process continues in Lower Manhattan after a deadly garage collapse.
The century-old garage pancaked without warning earlier this week, not only crushing vehicles but injuring garage workers and killing the manager, Willis Moore.
