Repairs are underway on a landmarked Chelsea building that was evacuated when part of a structural wall fell to the sidewalk.
The seven-story building at 655 Sixth Avenue was emptied on Tuesday night when the wall failed on the building's West 20th Street side.
Workers began constructing a sidewalk bridge around the collapsed area today. They don't expect to start working on the structure itself until tomorrow.
Residents of the wing of the building that fronts on West 20th Street were barred from returning to their homes.
Apartments and businesses on the Sixth Avenue side of the building were allowed back inside yesterday morning. The building, which dates to 1875, has retail on its first floor and condos upstairs.

"The building won't fall. They don't build buildings like this anymore," said Maurice Laboz, 75, a real estate developer who has lived in the building's penthouse for five years.
No one was injured by the collapse.
