Soon after, the Police Department of New York City said it was investigating reports that the collapse would have involved two buildings.
The incident occurred on 116th Street at the height of Park Avenue.
Television footage shows smoke and dust and debris coming out of the building and the fire department pouring water on the property .
Many rescue vehicles and services are on scene.
Meanwhile, city authorities suspended service trains (Metro North) as the tracks are straight ahead and could have debris.
