West Fordham Road became an avenue of smog Monday afternoon, after a nearby building unleashed a swell of black smoke, forcing passersby to duck for cover.
The noxious cloud spread throughout the stretch of Fordham Road, seeping towards St. Nicholas of Tolentine Church and other area stores. The fumes originated from 2472 Grand Avenue, a six-story apartment building just off the bustling artery.
The cough-inducing cloud was certainly uncommon, though smoke billowing out of rooftops is typically seen within the Bronx landscape.
The management company did not return calls.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
