According to jeffostroff on the Tube of Eww...there were several code violations and stop-work orders on the construction/demolition site next to this building. Including one where work was ordered halted and it was not.

I'm thinking they ran into unstable ground, maybe a clay pool or former landfill or closed tunnel/sewer main...the excavation site appeared 3 stories deep...and something shifted and took that whole row structure out. Incredibly it detached neatly from the one it was built against, yes, with a common wall.
 
Amazing that this hasn't brought manslaughter charges yet.
 

What we know about the cause of NYC building collapse​

After a massive search and rescue operation concluded, questions remain and calls for accountability are growing in the wake of the collapse of a three-story apartment building in Brooklyn into a nearby construction site.

At least two children and six adults, including two construction workers, died after the 96-year-old building collapsed at about 4 p.m. ET on Nov. 11, according to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. At least 18 people − 14 civilians and four firefighters − were injured as a result of the collapse of 1321 Flatbush Avenue in the Brooklyn borough of New York City, Mamdani said in a midday news conference on Nov. 12.
