[5][6] On 12 May 2024 around 3:30 a fire broke out in the eastern building,[4][1][7] resulting in a complete destruction of the facility.

[8] A large portion of vendors at Marywilska 44 comes from the Vietnamese-Polish community, relocated there after 10th-Anniversary Stadium marketplace has been closed and demolished in preparation for Kazimierz Górski National Stadium construction.

[9] The May 2024 fire not only deprived business owners of income, but often destroyed a large portion of cash belonging to their families, kept in safeboxes at the site due to obstacles migrants face in creating bank accounts.

[10] The owner of Marywilska 44 promised to provide in early August 2024 a temporary area for vendors, consisting of 800 intermodal containers.

[11] By October only 400 boxes were provided and, in light of the earlier conflict with Marywilska 44 owner,[12] vendors set up an alternative shopping center, "Modlińska 6D", about 3 km to the south.
