Neighbors on the fourth and fifth floor of a Claremont building packed what was left of their apartments in plastic bags and suitcases on Sunday after a fire shuttered 13 homes.

FDNY responded to the four-alarm fire at 1520 Sheridan Ave. Friday afternoon. It took 170 firefighters and EMS personnel two hours to place the flames under control.

"Right now, we are going to a shelter until further notice. We don’t know what will happen next," said Margarita, a tenant on the fifth floor.

The Department of Buildings issued a statement to News 12: "As a result of the partially collapsed roof, DOB has issued a Partial Vacate Order for the building impacting the entire G and H apartment lines, and one apartment on the J line."

The American Red Cross said it has registered 18 households for emergency assistance, including temporary lodging and financial assistance.

Officials also confirm the fire left nine people hurt, including four firefighters.
