The mixed residential and commercial building at 1321 Flatbush Avenue gave way, collapsing into an excavation pit at 2625 Bedford Avenue. The structural failure also ripped open part of the neighbouring building at 1323 Flatbush Avenue, leaving its interior rooms and furnishings visible from the street.
