BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com) – Nine residents, including three children, of a building on Dudley Street in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood have been displaced after the top story of the building partially collapsed Sunday morning.

Authorities responded to 433 Dudley St. after learning part of the building had collapsed affecting approximately 10 units.

The American Red Cross also responded to the residence to assist displaced residents.
