Building collapses in West Englewood on Loomis Boulevard
A building collapsed in Chicago's West Englewood neighborhood following a stormy weekend, but without an apparent known cause.
Video from CBS Skywatch shows a large part of the building, which appears to have been an abandoned home, caved in on itself Monday morning.
The building is located on Loomis Boulevard between Marquette Road and 68th Street.
According to the Chicago Fire Department, the building was vacant, and no one was hurt in the collapse.
What caused the building to collapse is still under investigation.
The Chicago Department of Buildings released a statement, writing, "DOB inspectors responded this morning and are still on-site alongside demolition contractors assessing the building's current status. They are joined by Com-Ed and People's Gas, as their teams disconnect their respective utilities to prepare for a total demolition of 6725 S. Loomis. Though the cause of the collapse is unknown at this time, DOB is thankful to our first responders for their swift action and remain grateful no one was harmed in this incident."
