The search was concentrated above the three-storey Caffe Nero branch and the Seasalt fashion shop.
A North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said: “Crews from York and Huntington assisted police to search a roof top after reports of people seen on top of a building.
“Crew used the aerial ladder platform to gain access. No persons were located and no further action was required.”
Davygate was then reopened.
