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." Mumbai police spokesman Rashmi Karandikar told CNN that 19 people have been killed, and at least 30 rescued from the debris, while the city's fire department said 30 people had been rescued.
