The fight over what to do with a rundown house next to Genny’s Diner in Clifton continues. The property owner wants to knock it down, but legally he can’t. Now prosecutors say he should go to jail.

The house on Frankfort Avenue has been the center of a big controversy for years and the site of two fires. Frank Feris, the owner of Genny’s Diner next door says he paid $100,000 for it and wants to tear it down to turn it into a parking lot. The problem is he can’t because it is now part of Clifton’s historic preservation district, which means he has to restore it. The estimated cost for restoration is between $250,000 to $500,000.
