Al Jazeera published an indoor view of the Nov. 11 collapse on Nov. 15.

Children were in the apartment when the building fell.

New York City Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani said the New York City Department of Buildings and law-enforcement partners would investigate. Ahmed Tigani, the department’s commissioner, said excavation was underway at the adjoining lot. New York City Fire Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore said officials received word about the collapse at about 4:01 p.m. ET on Nov. 11, at 1321 Flatbush Avenue. Bonsignore said the cause remained under investigation.

The Bongiorno Law Firm announced Nov. 12 that it would examine potential liability after the collapse, including site work, construction methods, the building’s structural condition and safety compliance. The firm said it had made no finding of negligence.
