Part of a wall from an apartment building in the Hochelaga-Maisonneueve district collapsed Saturday.

It happened on Ontario near William-David while excavation work was being done on vacant land next to the building.

A dozen or so people were forced from the 6-unit complex.

There were no reports of injuries.

The work had been going on for about a week.

    Where are the city inspectors and engineers???

    They should be evaluating surrounding stability and safety before any deep excavation work is allowed and done.
