Pittsburgh HazMat said on Friday night that a building in the Strip District is experiencing an ammonia leak.
Officials said that the HazMat team responded to a report of a strong gas odor outside of Consumer Fresh Produce Inc. at 21st St.
After inspecting the building, which is a large cold storage facility, the HazMat team determined that there was a sustained ammonia leak on the roof, and that it does not present a hazard.
Officials said however that the odor will linger, especially at night, until the leak is fixed.
Building management is currently arranging for a contractor to fix the leak, officials said.
