The building is located between 4th and 5th Street on 23rd Ave. 

No injuries were reported in the collapse, said Doug Stephens, the city’s public safety director.

The cause of the collapse hasn’t been determined, he said. 

“We obviously have a building that is unstable at this time,” Stephens  said. “It is unsafe.”

The following streets will be closed:

• 23^rd Avenue to 5^th Street and 4^th Street
• Portions of 5^th and 4^th Streets west of 23^rd Avenue

Officials are monitoring the situation and will update the public on when streets will reopen to pedestrian and vehicle traffic.

To ensure public safety, the city asks residents to stay clear of the area until further notice.
