Photographs from the scene show the balconies of a first and second floor flat having completely fallen away
Two balconies on a residential block collapsed over the weekend, crushing a car parked beneath them.
There were no reports of any injuries in the incident, which happened at about 13:00 GMT on Saturday at Prince of Wales Court in Hove.
East Sussex Fire and Rescue said it was called after reports the balconies had fallen into a garden and onto a car.
The fire service said it cordoned off the area before handing the incident over to the property's managing agents.

The block of flats was the home of television scriptwriter John Sullivan, whose achievements included Only Fools and Horses.
He died in 2011 and a blue plaque in his memory was unveiled at Prince of Wales Court last year.
