The hole is at the intersection of Bennett and Hale Streets.
City Councilman Khari Mosley said his office noticed it and quickly called for repairs.
Pittsburgh Water, the Department of Public Works, Wilkins Penn Join Water Authority and the Department of Mobility and Infrastructure are on the scene.
This is the terrifying moment a massive sinkhole opens up in the middle of a commercial district in Hsinchu County, Taiwan on February 27. Officials say they discovered the entire platform had been illegally built to provide more parking space, and was held up by steel beams that had rusted and collapsed. An unoccupied vehicle fell into the hole, no one was injured.
An SUV was swallowed by a sinkhole in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia on Tuesday.
The sinkhole opened up on the 2700 block of E. Birch Street around 1:30 p.m. along an old street, with old homes and infrastructure.
Video from Chopper 6 showed the Chevy inside the sinkhole, with only the front end above street level.
"I got a call from my wife, she said something happened outside the house," said the SUV's owner, Steve Williams. "I came home a little early, I get home, I pull up, and lo and behold her vehicle is in a sinkhole."
Williams, a Philadelphia police officer, is taking it all in stride.
In Buriticupu, about 1,200 people risk losing their homes, and residents have seen the problem escalate in 30 years
Authorities in a city in the Brazilian Amazon have declared a state of emergency after huge sinkholes opened up, threatening hundreds of homes.
Several buildings in Buriticupu, in Maranhão state, have already been destroyed, and about 1,200 people of a population of 55,000 risk losing their homes into a widening abyss.
"In the space of the last few months, the dimensions have expanded exponentially, approaching substantially closer to the residences," an emergency decree issued by the city government earlier this month said about the sinkholes.
Families have described a "terrifying" evacuation as a massive sinkhole appeared in their street, cutting off water supplies and swallowing at least one property's garden.
The hole first appeared in Godstone High Street, Surrey, late on Monday night, growing to at least 65ft (20m) by Tuesday lunchtime.
Shortly after 00:30 GMT on Tuesday, police told people living in William Way, Godstone, to "get out as quickly as possible" over fears of an explosion caused by exposed cables.
One resident, who moved in less than a week ago, said he was forced to sleep in his car, while another returned to find his back garden falling into the hole.
A sinkhole at an intersection near Tokyo that swallowed a truck collapsed further Thursday and merged with a second opening that had formed nearby, as rescue efforts continued into a third day to save the driver.
The sinkhole in Yashio, Saitama Prefecture, has expanded to roughly 40 meters wide and up to 15 meters deep since first appearing on Tuesday, according to local fire authorities. The prefectural government had estimated its width at around 20 meters.
Firefighters plan to deploy heavy machinery inside the hole to remove earth and rubble.
While the trapped 74-year-old man was initially able to speak, communication has been lost since Tuesday afternoon, with the driver's seat of the truck buried in debris.
A sewer pipe running underground in the area was found damaged, leading the prefectural government to start discharging wastewater into the nearby Niigata River late Wednesday as an emergency step to reduce the water flowing into the sinkhole.
A truck and its driver were swallowed by a sinkhole the size of a large swimming pool which appeared at a busy intersection in the Japanese city of Yashio on Tuesday.
The crater, approximately 32 feet wide and 16 feet deep, appeared about 10 a.m. local time (8 p.m. ET Monday) Motohiro Ono, the governor of the Saitama Prefecture said at a press briefing Tuesday.
"It is thought to have been caused by a crack in the Nakagawa River Basin sewer pipe. As a result of this collapse, a passing truck fell in," he said, adding the main focus was rescuing the driver.
Almost eight hours after the collapse, the man was still trapped inside the vehicle due to the driver's seat being filled with sand and mud, according to the Nippon TV station, which reported that rescue teams were pumping air into the hole to give the driver oxygen.
Aerial footage from the broadcaster showed at least 12 fire trucks were on the scene in the city which sits to the north of Japan's capital Tokyo.
A large sinkhole got covered in snow Monday as it continued to block a Philadelphia street a week after the street collapsed shortly after a SEPTA bus passed.
The Philadelphia Water Department had earlier repaired a water main break along North 6th Street between Hunting Park and Erie avenues in the Hunting Park neighborhood, PWD spokesman Brian Rademaekers said on Jan. 6, 2025.
PWD crews need to inspect the sewer before next steps can be taken to work with other utilities to restore the roadway, Rademaekers said.
Surveillance video obtained by NBC10 shows the sinkhole opening on Dec. 29, 2024 around 1 p.m.
Less than 10 minutes before the road collapsed, another camera captured a SEPTA bus traveling down the stretch of road and take a hard bounce where the sinkhole would later open.
Videos show people inspecting the roadway and backing away moments before it collapses.
In-ground pool swallowed by sinkhole in Schuylkill County
Emergency officials and state agencies have continued their response to the mine subsidence incident that occurred early Monday morning at 267 Park Place Road, Mahanoy Township.
According to Schuylkill County Emergency Management Director John Blickley, the subsidence, estimated to be approximately 50 by 70 feet, swallowed an in-ground swimming pool in the backyard of the property. The homeowner was at the residence during the incident, but fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the home and utilities remain unaffected.
The Mahanoy City Fire Department was on the scene shortly after the subsidence was reported at around 2:00 AM. Duty Officers notified the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) and followed up with the homeowner to assess the situation. State officials from the Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation arrived at the scene by 9:30 AM to conduct inspections and begin an evaluation of the site.
