MORRIS HEIGHTS, The Bronx (PIX11) – At least 138 people were displaced Monday
after a building in the Bronx partially collapsed, according to officials.

The collapse at 1915 Billingsley Terrace happened around 3:30 p.m., first
responders said. Many people who live in the 50-unit building were still at work
or school when the collapse happened, according to authorities.



Firefighters made it on the scene in 90 seconds and searched through debris and
rubble for hours using drones, dogs and robots to search for any victims,
officials said.

Only two people suffered minor injuries, according to authorities.

The building was constructed in 1927 and is seven stories tall, according to the
Department of Buildings. There were several open violations around unsafe façade
conditions, though none of them were structural.



Work was being done on the building when the collapse happened, according to
authorities. A report said the building had mortar that was deteriorating and
cracked bricks.

It’s not known what will happen to the rest of the building that is still
standing.

The Red Cross said caseworkers will continue to work with impacted residents to
connect them with resources they need to move forward.
