Demolition of sagging Toronto building continues

Demolition of sagging Toronto building continues

Crews continue to take apart a building near Toronto’s busy Kensington Market that was at risk of collapsing Friday. Heavy machinery remained at the site of the two-storey building on Dundas Street near Augusta Avenue Saturday morning as parts of the structure were demolished piece by piece.

Crews continue to take apart a building near Toronto’s busy Kensington Market that was at risk of collapsing on Friday.

Heavy machinery remained at the site of the two-storey building on Dundas Street near Augusta Avenue Saturday morning as parts of the structure were demolished piece by piece.

On Friday, the building's façade was seen sagging over the sidewalk below, prompting an evacuation. At least 10 people were removed from the impacted buildings.

Toronto Fire Deputy Chief Jim Jessop told reporters on Friday that a full investigation would be conducted once the affected sections of the building were brought down to determine what might have caused the structural issues.

“Our goal is to have it brought down in a controlled manner,” he said at the time, adding that the roof structure was also compromised.

Firefighters were called to the scene at 10 a.m. Friday after construction workers in the area observed the sagging façade. Jessop said that upon arrival, crews immediately established a “collapse zone” around the building, which has a convenience store on its main floor and apartments on its second floor.

He said crews worked quickly to get the building’s gas and hydro shut off in case the structure collapsed prior to a controlled demolition.
