The fire on the ground floor of Haji Musa Mansion also left 25 people, including three firemen, injured.
As many as 19 units of the fire service tamed the flames at around 6 am Friday after the fire started at 3.15 am.
The dead include a woman identified as Suraiya, 22, said Mahfuz Riven, an official of the Fire Service Control Room.
Those injured in the incident were sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
They are yet to receive a detailed report on the death of the two victims, he said.
Fire Service staff cut the grilles at balconies and windows and rescued the residents stuck on the rooftop of the six-storey building.
The authorities were yet to determine the source of the fire.
The building had a chemical warehouse and shops on its ground floor, while families lived on the other floors, said locals.
