I saw several houses slide down the bluff during my 20+ years in Montauk.

We have several ready slide down the cliffs in south Plymouth. From the beach, you can look up and see floor joists. The decks and footings have long ago made the journey down the cliff and have been washed away.

I'm told that if you don't tear them down when they've been condemned, you own the clean up costs to remove it if it falls down the cliff.
