Richard Wysowski, the village's urban renewal director, said the collapse has prompted area residents to call village police and fire departments and even 911. The village was planning to begin demolition in March or April after an environmental review still under way was completed, Wysowski said. Wysowski said the village has received special authorization from the state Department of Environmental Conservation and Department of Labor to tear down the building because of the emer SPCA: City says Continued from Page 1A "What I'd like to know is what their answer is to the cat problem," Iraci said.

"Letting cats run wild, destroy property, potentially carrying rabies is not humane." The SPCA has handled the situation poorly, Iraci said. "First of all, I would like to say that I wasn't given the courtesy of receiving a copy of the letter," Iraci said. "The media had copies of the letter before the corporation counsel, and that's really unprofessional and speaks to the way the SPCA has handled itself." Only one member of City Council, Rich Micelotta, R-lst, received a copy of the letter. Iraci pointed out that Wednesday's letter contradicts a Sept. 26 letter from Olsen regarding the cat issue.

In the earlier letter the SPCA was telling concerned residents that the city's animal control Nolioanvercfler.

"That building sucks. And it's very dangerous," said Charlotte Bixby, who lives just across from Building 2 at East Uth Street and Scottwood Avenue. "It brings down the value of our property because it's there.

We'd be happy to see the whole thing go." Andy Michalko has lived in view of Building 2 in his Scottwood Avenue home for 40 years. "It should be torn down. It really is a hazard," he said. "It's open and kids can go in it. Sooner or later kids are going to explore something like that and they could get hurt or killed." health hazard Olsen, however, denies the SPCA is trying to sensationalize the issue.

"This is not to scare people. It's to let them know that we're not sitting back, that we're taking action," he said. "The humane society, the SPCA, is interested in the welfare of animals, and if it's possible that animals are not treated properly, whether by a municipality or an individual, it's our job to look into it." The SPCA also cited concerns about the city resuming the euthanizing of cats, which it says will begin Saturday. No cats have been euthanized over the last month, and as for the policy resuming, Iraci would only say: "It's a guess on their part." He said the city is preparing a response to the SPCA which will be provided to the organization and its attorney.

But the debris will have to be left on the site. Approval from the Department of Labor is needed because material in the building's roof contain asbestos, Wysowski said. Water will be used to control dust during demolition. Brink said the board will consider two proposals, from Narde Paving Co. and John F.

John P. Wenzel both in Elmira Heights. The cost of the work, up to $30,000, would be paid for by state and federal funds, Brink said. "We don't have the money in our coffers to do this," Brink said. Neighbors of the building, whether they knew of the collapse or not, said they'll be happy to see it it's taking care of policies were well within legal bounds, Iraci said.

Olsen said the SPCA's stance on the city's policies have changed since the Sept. 26 letter. The SPCA's legislative committee recently learned of the legal clauses pertaining to capturing and destroying stray or unwanted animals, Olsen said. The SPCA had been investigating the legality of the city euthanizing cats since a Sept. 26 Star-Gazette article on Elmira's animal control officer, Olsen said.

According to Iraci, the more recent letter is another attempt by the SPCA to sensationalize the cat problem. "We did nothing different than they did," he said about destroying the unwanted cats. In his Thursday statement, Iraci called the SPCA's letter the "latest effort to scare people through the media."
