Seattle Fire was called to the Yonkers Apartments building just after 7 AM and reported a fire underway in the entryway to the building.
Crews began to battle the flames and limited damage to the structure’s exterior.
The building has been undergoing a long renovation following a 2022 sale and is not currently inhabited.
There were no reported injuries.
