A three-story parking garage attached to an apartment complex in Pittsburgh’s North Shore was condemned Thursday after it partially collapsed, trapping residents’ vehicles.
A condemnation notice posted on the garage at Bracken House notes a “partial structural failure.”
Cars were still parked in the garage — which was cordoned off with police tape — early Friday afternoon.
Molly Onufer, a spokeswoman for Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O’Connor, said officials received a report that a section of concrete slab had collapsed in the garage.
No one was injured, she said.
Ryan Dolan, general counsel for Coastal Ridge, which manages the apartment building at 100 Anderson St., said the incident occurred late Thursday evening.
Dolan said the company is working with local authorities to investigate what caused the damage.
He said they are working to remove residents’ vehicles as soon as they can do so safely. He did not offer a timeline of when that may occur.
“We obviously understand people need their cars,” Dolan said.
The city’s Department of Permits, Licenses and Inspections condemned the structure and ordered it to be vacated. Public safety personnel helped remove vehicles closest to the collapse, Onufer said.
Bracken House, situated along the Allegheny River, sits just blocks from where the city this week is hosting the 2026 NFL Draft.
The apartment complex on its website describes the site as a “prime Pittsburgh location” with one- and two-bedroom apartments.
