Partial Building Collapse on Smith near Bergen St. Station

MOD

I was looking at the MTA site and they had a subway alert for the Bergen Station due to a building collapse. Anyone know anything?



EDIT: Turns out it's in Carrol Gardens

Damn, forgot about that. I may be the Smith stop, I guess this question can be moved to that board. Sorry guys. :oops:

OH DAMN! I just saw this on Brownstoner. I was walking by this place just on Tuesday and Papi Chulo and I were remarking on how the ceiling was partially collapsed and the place look to be demolished any minute. Pigeons were coming and going out of the windows, too.

That is definitely Smith Street, on the street just above the track off the SW corner of Wyckoff Street.

I recognize the bizarre cinder-block monolith that is apparently an MTA property to the right.

I hate to change the subject a little bit, but I am actually looking at a place not too far from here. I have not seen many other buildings in poor condition - is this something in the area I have missed, or is it a rare occurence?

Not the usual with the area. These building last forever
