Parts of a wall on a Bronx building collapsed Sunday night, forcing evacuations. 
It happened on the fourth floor of a building on Valentine Avenue near East 180th Street.
The FDNY says the collapse was caused by this past weekend’s heavy rains. 
The entire building was evacuated as a precaution, and officials say one person was injured and treated at the scene.
Residents say their main concern is finding a place to stay. 
The Red Cross is now assisting those displaced residents.
