MIDTOWN — Debris fell from scaffolding at a West 57th Street building under construction, officials said.

Parts of the scaffolding set up at ONE57, a hotel and residential building under construction at 157 West 57th St., fell onto a first-floor landing about 4:15 p.m., FDNY officials said.

No one was injured, an FDNY spokesman said.

An NYPD traffic cop was on the scene, but no streets were closed.

ONE57, which will be 90-stories tall, will be home to a Park Hyatt and 95 residential apartments. The starting price to secure a home there will be $6.375 million, according to reports.

ONE57 is set to be the tallest building in Midtown when it is completed in 2013.
