A 65-year-old woman and two teenage girls were pulled out alive.
The three-storey building was adjacent to a large residential complex, according to images published by local media.
The apartments there were sealed in 2010 due to the risk of the building collapsing but were illegally occupied, Civil Protection added.
In April, another building in the same condition collapsed in Olinda, still in the state of Pernambuco, killing 6 people.
