Residents were evacuated from their apartment complex in the middle of the night after the building burst and significantly moved.

Emergency services were called on Friday around 3:45 am to the Green Trees Estate on Knocklayde Street in Ashfield, west Sydney.

At least ten people were forced out of the building upon waking to see tiles and concrete cracking and discovered that their doors could no longer open and close.

Concerns have been raised about the safety of the structure, and NSW police said parts of the building “creaked and moved.”

NSW Fire and Rescue Superintendent Scott Dodson told Daily Mail Australia “there is no chance of a major structural collapse.”

He said Fire and Rescue was called at around 3:45 a.m. to address “concerns about creaking and loud noises in the building.”

Fire and Rescue responded and set up specialized surveillance equipment to track the movement.

“We insulated power and gas to the building, evacuated the building, and those people are now under the care of the NSW police in a local community center.

“There are cracks in the building and many of the doors don’t open, indicating that the building has moved considerably,” said Superintendent Dodson.

He explained that structural engineers from Rijkswaterstaat and the municipality continued to assess the building and trace the cause.

The NSW police told Daily Mail Australia that an exclusion zone has been established.

They remain on the site to enforce evacuations from the three-story complex to the nearby community center.

Reportedly, both Westconnex and Roads and Maritime Services representatives are present.

Residents have expressed concern that the newly completed M4 East WestConnex tunnels are located below Knocklayde Street.

Researchers are investigating whether the tunnels caused the cracks, but no connections have been made.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Westconnex and Roads and Maritime Services for comment.
