PITTSBURGH — A house in Pittsburgh's North Side could soon be torn down months after it began crumbling. Channel 11 was alerted Tuesday of a home on Holbrook Street.

When our crew arrived, workers with the city’s Department of Permits, Licenses and Inspections were on-scene inspecting the property.

Neighbors say the house has been empty for years, but they have heard loud cracks coming from the structure in recent weeks.
