4 rowhomes, 2 cars damaged in partial building collapse in Pittsburgh’s Hill District

Crews are on scene of a partial house collapse in Pittsburgh’s Hill District.

Rowhomes on Camp Street were impacted by a collapse from near the roofline.

Our photographer on scene saw several cars behind caution tape damaged by bricks and debris that had fallen off of the homes.

Pittsburgh police officials say the facade of the house collapsed.

The mayor’s office says four homes were damaged in the collapse, including three that people were living in.

Three of the damaged homes, two of which were occupied, had to be condemned because of structural integrity. The Red Cross is assisting displaced residents.

The fourth home is still being evaluated to determine if it is liveable or not.

Channel 11 spoke with one of the victims whose vehicle was damaged. He was hopeful that insurance would cover the repairs, and was grateful no one was injured.

“There are actually little kids that walk by all the time so very happy that no one was hurt,” said Joseph Schinderle, adding that cars can be replaced.

According to property records, two of the damaged homes are owned by separate corporations, and the other two are owned by separate individuals.
