A Long Island village potentially wants to buy and raze the home of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann and plans to create a no-gawking zone to curb the hordes of curiosity seekers who have flocked there in recent days.

The ramshackle single-family home on First Avenue in Massapequa Park has been swarmed by reporters and gawkers of every stripe since Heuermann’s arrest earlier this month, raising concerns among his neighbors, reported Newsday.

“They have a lot of concerns in terms of quality of life, their safety, and their property,” village Mayor Daniel Pearl said at a community meeting Monday night.

The mayor — who sought to fix the problem with Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder —  said his village government was laying the groundwork to potentially buy the First Avenue property, where Heuermann had lived for nearly 30 years.

“Legally, we’re getting everything lined up so the village is prepared to move forward when the time comes,” he said, without specifying what the town would do with the property.

Reached by The Post Wednesday, Pearl said the possible sale is “too far in the future” for the village to have specific plans for the house — but stressed that it would ideally be torn down.

“Someone could come in and knock it down and rebuild on the property,” Pearl said, adding that he’d prefer a private buyer snap up the property instead of the village.

“The village isn’t interested in owning private homes, but it is one option,” he said.  “Potentially we could work with a developer.”

He added, “Right now we’re concerned with having people come in to try to look at this house, trampling neighbors’ lawns…and snapping photos in front of their homes.” 

Heuermann purchased the humble six-room home in 1994 for $170,000.

Built in 1956, the one-story residence occupies just 1,323 square feet of space, and has a full basement and one fireplace.

The property’s current estimated price is around $635,000, according to the real estate site Zillow.com.

Cops will be stationed around the suspected serial killer’s home “for the foreseeable future” to keep rubberneckers away, said Nassau County Police Detective Lt. Richard LeBrun.

Police on Wednesday were cracking down on true crime buffs and other lookie-loos outside the home — shooing away drivers, and slapping some with tickets, cops and motorists told The Post.

One elderly man in a silver Hyundai Elantra was pulled over by police after slowing down for a peek at the accused killer’s abode, and was ticketed for “impeding traffic.”

“What traffic?!” he fumed. 

Town workers also installed at least 31 poles on the block, where signs declare, “No standing, No parking.” The no-gawking zone comes in a bid to keep the quiet neighborhood from becoming an unruly, Amityville Horror-style tourist attraction, police said.

Police, who had three marked police vehicles patrolling the block Wednesday, said they will also crack down on loitering and jaywalking in the area.

The property will be under 24-hour video surveillance and will be guarded by police vehicles, Pearl said, calling the measures “proactive.”  

The community meeting came  just hours after police wrapped up their extensive search of Heuermann’s “very cluttered” home and cleared the way for his wife and two children to move back in.

But one neighbor said Wednesday he hopes the town buys the run-down pad and destroys it.

“I can’t wait for them to tear this down! I been staring at this eyesore for 31 years!” the neighbor told The Post.

It remains unclear whether Heuermann allegedly killed any of his victims inside his residence, with Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney telling reporters that “the evidence doesn’t point one way or the other.”

The search of the property turned up a huge walk-in vault in the basement and 279 weapons.

Police also dug up the suspect’s yard and brought in cadaver dogs but found no human remains.

Heuermann, 59, an architect with a Manhattan firm, was arrested July 13 and charged with murder in the deaths of three women whose bodies were found on Gilgo Beach in December 2010 — Megan Waterman, Amber Lynn Costello, and Melissa Barthelemy.

He is also considered the prime suspect in the killing of Maureen Brainard-Barnes.

Collectively, the victims have come to be known as the “Gilgo Four.”

Heuermann’s wife, Asa Ellerup, has filed for divorce in the wake of her husband’s arrest.

Authorities said Ellerup, her son, Christopher Sheridan, and her and Heuermann’s daughter, Victoria, were out of town during the murders.

Heuermann pleaded not guilty to the charges against him and remained held without bail.
