President Donald Trump tweeted about 45 minutes later that the fire was out. Trump says it was "Very confined (well built building)."
Photos posted on Twitter show flames and smoke coming out of windows at the midtown skyscraper.
Trump's business is based at Trump Tower and his residence is there, but he has spent little time in New York since taking office.
Eric Trump, the president's second-oldest son, tweeted that the fire was in a residential apartment at the tower.
