Officials confirmed to Fox News Digital that the call came in at 245 West 29th Street in Manhattan just before 9 a.m.
The building, not far from Madison Square Garden between 7th and 8th avenues in Chelsea, houses a French restaurant, wardrobe supply and photography business, according to Google. Scaffolding can be seen on Google Maps images.
