Depends massively on the city in question. Do you have anything more specific on the size of the city?

lets go with a magnitude 3, since you didn't say how violent it was and this is basically the breach level to consider it an earthquake event that we humans actually would objectively observe
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Darkanine/General:_Destroying_New_York_City
this says new york's radius is approx 15.79 km in radius
Magnitude at the epicenter = 3+0.0238*15.79 = 3.375802
Energy = 10^[1.5*(3.375802)+4.8] = 7306392519.56 joules or Building (busting) level or 8-C
