A public housing tower partially collapsed in the South Bronx on Wednesday morning, FDNY officials said.
No injuries were immediately reported, but the fire department said it was still responding to the scene.
The building at Alexander Avenue and East 137th Street is part of NYCHA's Mitchell Houses, city officials confirmed.
The FDNY said an incinerator shaft collapsed and it was investigating a potential gas leak.
NYPD officials said no housing units appeared to be damaged by the collapse. Officers responded to a 911 call for the address around 8:10 a.m.
The city's building department was also responding to the incident.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
