The fire was being treated as suspicious and police took a suspect into custody the night of the fire, a chief on the scene said.
The chief said the fire began on the first floor before spreading. No one was inside at the time because the house was boarded up, he said.
While firefighters hosed down the fire, the chief said a brick apartment building still under construction next door had its basement fill with water. He said the basement was subsequently pumped out.
Neither the police nor the FDNY had any information about the suspect. The fire was under investigation.
