Crews demolish house in Philadelphia's Wynnefield neighborhood after collapse

Crews on Sunday morning worked to demolish a house that collapsed the night before in the Wynnefield section of Philadelphia. 

The house at Bryn Mawr and Woodbine avenues started to collapse Saturday shortly after 8:30 p.m. A family member of the 94-year-old woman who lived in the home said she left earlier in the evening because of a crack on the front of the house. 

No one was inside the house at the time of the collapse, and no one was injured. 

According to the the Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections, inspectors at the scene found that the main roof had collapsed, along with the front wall of the front structure. Because of the significant structural instability, the property was placed under a demolition order. Utility services at the property were shut off for the safety of first responders in the area. 

The owner of the property is deceased, according to L&I.
