AUSTIN (KXAN) -- An abandoned building in the 900 block of Old Koenig Lane, near the intersection of West Koenig Lane and North Lamar Boulevard, caught fire late on Monday, according to the Austin Fire Department.
AFD said fire crews extinguished the fire with minimal extension to the structure, and added there were no injuries.
Multiple fires have been located at this address recently, AFD said on social media.
This comes after KXAN previously reported on Monday neighbors near the abandoned building reported that the area was unsafe due to visible illicit drug activity in and around the property.
There is no current timeline from the city as to when the abandoned building will be torn down.
