DO NOT DO what the above anon suggests. Hauling away a burned-out house is much bigger than he would like you to believe. There are gas, water, sewer, and electric lines to have shut off and removed, probably under permit, and by LICENSED contractors. Then there is the possibility of lead and asbestos in the rubble, which may need other permits, and specials ways to remove them. If you do things wrong, the city can not only immediately stop you, and MAKE you do it the right way, but also FINE you for not "containing" those materials. (and those fines alone could be tens of thousands of $ for releasing toxic materials into the atmosphere. You need to do 2 things-----get a hold of city officials, and do EXACTLY what they say, AND get a lawyer ASAP.

Forgot to add--------if you hire anybody off Craig's List, or anyone "off the street", MAKE SURE they have insurance. Remember, you are their "employer", now. If one of them gets hurt while cleaning up the rubble, they can ALSO sue you.

I can assure you the gas and electric has been shut off garry. That's one of the first things that the fire dept. would do while putting out the fire. Poster said the city said to demolish the building. and of course poster should get info on how to go about that. Much info is not in his post.
Might be cheaper to sign over the property to a builder who might want the land for a new home or to move a house onto the property.
Perhaps sell it to next door neighbor for cheap if they want more property.
I would buy my next door property if it was offered for a cheap price even around my rental properties. Otherwise an empty lot in a low quality neighbor is just like an alligator. Always eating your money.
On your other point. I would bet over half of the LL on here. Don't look into hiring lic professionals to do work on their properties.
