CARROLL GARDENS, Brooklyn — A three story building collapsed in Brooklyn Wednesday afternoon, sending a cloud of dust of a massive pile of debris raining down.
The building at the intersection of Union Street and Court Street, which housed the “Body Elite Gym,” was not occupied at the time. It was unclear if anyone was injured.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has been briefed on the incident.
