PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A condemned building in Pittsburgh's Manchester neighborhood collapsed Thursday. 

The building, which was vacant, collapsed around 2 p.m. on Manhattan Street between Adams and Beldale streets on the North Side. The street is currently closed. 

Robin Hammonds was watching TV in her living room when she heard a boom.

"You could hear just like a loud, loud crash," Hammonds said. "It kind of shook the house."

She ran outside to find bricks and wood piled up on the sidewalk of Manhattan Street and called for her husband.

"He's like, 'Oh, I thought it was the railroad,' I'm like, 'No, it's next door to our house, the whole front fell off,'" Hammonds said.

City officials said the building was previously condemned. A team from the Pittsburgh Department of Permits, Licensing and Inspections checked it out after the incident and determined crews will need to tear it down.

"This house has been in bad shape for a while," Hammonds said.

Hammonds said no one has lived there for at least 10 years, and she and her neighbors have had concerns about it for some time. She said the rear of the house collapsed in 2018.

"I couldn't get out of my back door. That's how bad it was," Hammonds said.

Over the years, they noticed the front slowly leaning forward.

"When the water seeps in, it pushes the bricks out, so you could see it was pulling away from the building," Hammonds said.

According to online real estate records, the condition of the property is unsound, with a grade of C-. Records also show Rewind Properties bought the home last November. KDKA-TV tried to reach out to the company for comment but has not heard back at this time.

"It's always been a nuisance. We were worried about kids getting in there before they boarded it up," Hammonds said. 

As for Hammonds, she's relieved to see the building come down. While she said the inspector told them their home is stable, the collapse caused some minor damage to their car, cracking a part of the front windshield.

However, that's it. Their house is still standing and they're all OK.

"Thank goodness," Hammonds said.

Hammonds said a "condemned" sign was put on the home on the other side of the one that collapsed. It's unclear if crews also will knock it down, but she said one person lives there.

At this time, the demolition of the collapsed building is expected to happen at some point Friday.
