If that building was here in CA, I would say "typical earthquake damage."

I would be surprised if there was no basement, basements are standard equipment in Boston.

The roll up doors only indicate a typical store front in one of Bostons less prestigious neighborhoods.
Two show windows on either side of an entry way, all armored to keep the glass intact.
