A three-story building in Brooklyn, N.Y., is being demolished following a partial collapse that occurred Wednesday afternoon around 4:40 p.m. The building, at 348 Court Street in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood, was the location of a Body Elite Gym, closed at the time because of the coronavirus pandemic.
One person was reported to be in the building at the time of the collapse, but was able to get out with only minor injuries, said Lillian Bonsignore, chief of EMS operations. The FDNY searched the site and confirmed no one else had been in the building, said Thomas Richardson, FDNY chief of fire operations.
