The emergency workers were calling for silence as they continued to listen for sounds from beneath the rubble, Anadolu reported.
Images from a security camera showed the building collapsing on a busy road.
The initial magnitude 7.7 and 7.6 earthquakes that hit south-eastern Türkiye and northern Syria a month ago was followed by a series of aftershocks.
The quakes have left almost 2 million homeless in Türkiye. Many are being housed in tent encampments, but people have also begun to return to their damaged homes.
