CNN's Chris Cuomo reports:
- Two buildings with one adjoining wall affected.
- On the ground level of one building is a Christian Spanish church; the other has a piano repair shop on the ground floor.
- There are approximately 4-5 levels of apartments on top of those places.

Law enforcement officials tell CNN they are not seeing any terror connection in the Harlem explosion. The leading indication is that this was a gas explosion, the sources said.

Utility Con Edison was called to respond to a possible gas leak before the explosion, CNN's Chris Cuomo reported. .
