</iframe</div></div></div><P><FONT size=2 face=Arial> </FONT>Southport (WENY) -- Southport residents are up in arms over an unsightly house that went up in flames this past February. </P><SPAN lang=EN> <DIV>The house that caused the uproar was being rented at the time of the fire, and was deemed uninhabitable months ago. The owner has since put the property on the market, but it has not moved fast enough for some. A next door neighbor offered to pay the owner $10,000 to tear it down.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Though unsightly, appearance is not the only reason people want to see it gone. Neighbors have been complaining of rats and snakes coming out of the debris and on to their property, posing health and safety risks.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV><SPAN lang=EN> <DIV> "I wish they would just tear it down personally. It's an eyesore; it's dangerous," says Bart Curtis, a Southport resident. "There's a house that's right in back of me, the white house, it's a daycare center. There are children there and if one of them wandered over there, it could be a problem," he adds.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV><SPAN lang=EN> <DIV>A Code Enforcement Officer for Southport says that if the owner doesn't take action, the town will likely hire someone to tear it down and charge the owner.</SPAN></DIV></SPAN></SPAN></div></div> </div> </div> <div id="footer" class="span-23a center fnone clearfix subpend-4 pad-10"> <div id="contactInfo" class="span-5b normal-text sub-title append-2"> <div id='module8'><P align=center><IMG border=0 hspace=0 alt="" src="/usr/contact/footerLogo.png" width=211 height=54><BR>WENY-HD ABC|CBS|CW2<BR>474 Old Ithaca Road<BR>Horseheads, NY 14845 <BR><IMG border=0 hspace=0 alt="" src="/usr/contact/footerLine.jpg" width=209 height=2></P> <P align=center> <TABLE border=1 cellSpacing=0 borderColor=#000000 cellPadding=0 width="40%"> <TBODY> <TR> <TD> <P align=left><A href="http://www.facebook.com/wenytv?ref=ts"><IMG border=0 hspace=0 alt="" src="/usr/contact/facebookLogo.jpg" width=87 height=25></A></P></TD> <TD> <P align=right><A href="http://twitter.com/WENYTV"><IMG border=0 hspace=0 alt="" src="/usr/contact/twitterLogo.png" width=91 height=17></A></P></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></P></div> </div> <div id="showsMenu" class="span-5 normal-text sub-title"> <span class="menuTitle dark-text uppercase normal-title">Shows</span> <div class="menuContainerFoot" xmlns:helper="urn:helper"> <ul id="footerNav"> <li class=" first"><a id="mi0" href="/shows">Good Morning Twin Tiers</a></li> <li class=""><a id="mi1" href="/shows">WENY-HD News at 5:30</a></li> <li class=""><a id="mi2" href="/shows">WENY-HD News at 6:00</a></li> <li class=""><a id="mi3" href="/shows">WENY-HD News at 11:00</a></li> <li class=""><a id="mi4" href="/shows">Twin Tiers Sunday</a></li> <li class=" last"><a id="mi5" href="/shows">Senior Notebook</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="aboutMenu" class="span-4 normal-text sub-title"> <span class="menuTitle dark-text uppercase normal-title">About</span> <div class="menuContainerFoot" xmlns:helper="urn:helper"> <ul id="footerNav"> <li class=" first"><a id="mi0" href="/contact">Contact Us</a></li> <li class=""><a id="mi1" href="/news-team">News Team</a></li> <li class=""><a id="mi2" href="/advertisingsales">Advertising Sales</a></li> <li class=""><a id="mi3" href="/job-opportunities">Job Opportunities</a></li> <li class=" last"><a id="mi4" href="/useful-links">Useful Links</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="newsMenu" class="span-4 normal-text sub-title"> <span class="menuTitle dark-text uppercase normal-title">News</span> <div class="menuContainerFoot" xmlns:helper="urn:helper"> <ul id="footerNav"> <li class=" first"><a id="mi0" href="/local-news">Local</a></li> <li class=""><a id="mi1" href="/regional-news">Regional</a></li> <li class=""><a id="mi2" href="/national-news">National</a></li> <li class=""><a id="mi3" href="/familyhealth">Family Health</a></li> <li class=""><a id="mi4" href="/sports">Sports</a></li> <li class=""><a id="mi5" href="http://www.moneytalksnews.com/">Money Talks</a></li> <li class=" selected last"><a id="mi6" href="/news">Web Poll</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="servicesMenu" class="span-4 normal-text sub-title"> <span class="menuTitle dark-text uppercase normal-title">Services</span> <div class="menuContainerFoot" xmlns:helper="urn:helper"> <ul id="footerNav"> <li class=" first"><a id="mi0" href="/login">Mobile Alerts</a></li> <li class=""><a id="mi1" href="/school-closings">School Closings</a></li> <li class=""><a id="mi2" href="/events">Events</a></li> <li class=""><a id="mi3" href="/community-calendar">Community Calendar</a></li> <li class=" last"><a id="mi4" href="/login">e-Newsletter</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="copyPane" class="span-24 center fnone text-center normal-text link-med-grey suppend-2 subpend-2"> ©2013 WENY-HD NEWS.
