According to the FDNY, four people have been injured, and at least one was in critical condition. It’s unclear if anyone has been reported missing, but the FDNY initially said there were reports of people trapped.

The FDNY says a major technical rescue operation is ongoing. Dozens of firefighters could be seen sifting through the rubble by hand.

Photos and video from the scene appear to show an entire side of one building collapsed, exposing the interiors of stairwells and apartments.

Drivers are encouraged to avoid the area and should expect traffic delays and road closures, officials say.

The New York City Department of Buildings says the commissioner and investigators are on their way to the site to assess the damage.

According to city records, the buildings department issued a violation to a demolition contractor back in April because inspectors said an entire building at that site was demolished earlier this year despite a city order to stop all demolition work. That violation is now listed as resolved, and the violation notice does not say why the city issued a stop work order in the first place.

City records show there has recently been construction work happening at that address since the demolition. It’s unclear if that work has anything to do with Wednesday’s collapse.
