House Sinking Fast! Kids are afraid

My four young children and I exit and enter our home several times a day. The first thing we see five feet in front of us are crumbling bricks from the vacant house next door. The photos we took show how quickly the house is crumbling. My six year old is afraid to exit the door for school in themorning, she said the house is goingto fall on us. I have no doubt that she is correct. If I had video you would actualy see it crumbling.It's coming down fast. I don't know how it will fall. We live on the east side of buffalo. The owner claimed last year that the house looks great on th outside but the inside is gutted. The wooden board was used months ago to cover the opened window. The board has crumbled as well, as you can see in the photos. It appears that the basement of the house had become identicle to a swamp last summer.If they demolish it rats will invade my home I am sure. What do I do to prevent this home from falling on my children? What do I do to prevent rat invasions that come from a demolished house? Im afraid of the result either way. That house is sinking fast, My children and I are afraid it will fall on us.

There has to be housing violations against this house. If not, call up the city and have an inspector come out and explain your concerns. If it is as bad as you say it is, they may force a demolition of the property...
