A partial building collapse in Valley Cottage startled condo residents last night.
Police say a brick facade on one of the buildings at Mountain View Condominiums in Valley Cottage fell just after 9 p.m. last night. "We were sitting in the living room and all of a sudden we heard this terrible crash and we looked out and saw all of these blocks out on the lawn," says Fran Lamparelli.
They say the falling bricks caused damage to some gas and electric meters. As a result of the damage, 16 units were without gas for the evening, and eight units were without both gas and electric. Orange and Rockland responded to the scene to repair gas line and electrical boxes. Eight of the units were still without gas or electricity today.
The complex managers says they hope to have all service restored by tomorrow.
No one was displaced or hurt.
