Earlier, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a news conference from the scene that the gas leak had been reported to the utility company 15 minutes before the blast on Wednesday morning.
Mr de Blasio said the "major explosion" had destroyed two buildings and heavily damaged other structures.
As night fell, rescue crews were finally able to search for victims in the debris after the fire raged for most of the day.
