BRIGHTON BEACH — A vacant Ocean Avenue building partially collapsed Tuesday afternoon, fire officials said.

No one was injured when the roof of the two-story building, between Brighton 6th and Brighton 7th streets, buckled just before 1:30 p.m., an FDNY spokesman said.

One of the building's walls also collapsed, he added.

Emergency responders rushed to the scene but did not report any injuries, according to the FDNY.

The address of the vacant building was not immediately clear.

The Department of Buildings did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
