New Castle City city officials will need to determine if a building needs to be demolished quickly after a partial collapse Monday morning.
Crews were called out at about 9 a.m. to a vacant two-story building along W. Long Avenue after part of it collapsed.
Fire Chief Mike Kobbe says the building had just sold over the weekend. Now, city officials will need to discuss the possibility of emergency demolition because a front wall is bowing out into the street.
It's not immediately known if recent heavy rains contributed to the collapse.
No injuries were reported. The building was formerly known as the Jagielly Club.
