Resident Gez Park, 26, who had serious concerns about building work which had been going on next to the property, said he was lucky to be alive.
He said: "As we walked back to the flat last night we saw this big cloud of dust. The whole street was covered. Then when it cleared I couldn't believe it. The place is a disaster zone.
"When I looked up I just saw my room had half disappeared and all my stuff was gone.
