A three story building was said to have collapsed in a working-class neighborhood and has killed at least 13 people this morning in Mumbai while authorities are scrambling to rescue survivors.

According to CNN, a spokesman for the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai told CNN that the building was 117 years old and had been deemed unsafe years ago.
"The building was served an 'unsafe to live' notice in 2013," said the spokesman, Vijay Khabale-Patil.
"Ten families used to live in the building and some of them had vacated the property recently. So we don't have an actual count of the missing people."
He told CNN that 13 bodies had been recovered from the site and the operation was still "in full swing."
Twenty others were rescued and sent to hospital, according to Deven Bharti, the joint commissioner for law and order of the Mumbai Police.
"We are still assessing how many people might have been trapped," Mumbai police spokesman Rashmi Karandikar told CNN.
The building collapse comes after heavy rains and flooding in Mumbai this week, which have killed at least five people. Authorities would not say if the collapse was connected to the rainfall.
