The bricks on the three-story building on East Ridgewood Avenue that houses a ground-level Citibank branch with apartments above gave way shortly after 4 p.m. Sunday, March 6.

Ridgewood police, firefighters and emergency services workers responded, along with village Building Department Director Anthony Merlino.

Members of the Emergency Services Division created a sidewalk detour with cones for temporary pedestrian traffic.
