Firefighters found that the incinerator shaft had collapsed inside the 20-story building, officials said.
Miraculously, no one was hurt — but photos show a huge slab of the building’s exterior missing after the incident.
The NYPD responded and secured the building, setting up a perimeter around it.
“New Yorkers, I have been briefed about the emergency situation taking place in the Mott Haven area of the Bronx,” Mayor Eric Adams posted on X.
“We are getting a full assessment from first responders and will continue to provide updates. Please avoid the area for your safety.”
Con Edison, the Department of Buildings and the city’s Office of Emergency Management also responded, and the investigation is ongoing, police said.
