According to FDNY, it started on the first floor of the six-story building at 2877 Grand Concourse. Two civilians sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi.

An HPD spokesperson says, "Anyone experiencing unsafe or unhealthy conditions in their home may report the problems by calling 311 if the building owner is not addressing their concerns."
The FDNY says that fire marshals are still investigating the cause.
News 12 reached out to the building management for a statement but they may be closed for the holiday weekend.
