The three-alarm blaze apparently began in a second-floor bedroom and extended to the third floor of the Harrison Street home off Lexington Avenue around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 5.
Firefighters went to an exterior defensive attack after venting the roof.
The bulk of the fire was knocked down within 40 minutes.
No injuries were immediately reported, nor a cause yet determined.
