Frightening collapse in a 34-year-old building in Zeytinburnu! 17 flats were evacuated

The incident took place in a 4-storey building located on Merv Street in Sümer District. The balcony of the flat on the top floor of the building, which was built in 1992, collapsed with a loud noise for an unknown reason. As a result of the collapse, the falling pieces also damaged the balconies on the lower floors. Upon notice, fire brigade and municipal teams were dispatched to the scene. While the building, which was learned to contain 17 flats, was evacuated as a precaution, a place was allocated for the accommodation of the people living in the building.

While security measures were taken with iron plates around the building, the street was temporarily closed to vehicle and pedestrian traffic. It was learned that a decision regarding the condition of the building will be made after the core samples taken from the building by teams affiliated with the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization are examined.
