Here are some examples of how I redo a port that had a family and houseboat:
Mrs. Scott might have been made pregnant with Rubisel Ichtaca's baby some way that causes issues. Evict the Scotts. Bulldoze their houseboat. Bulldoze the houseboat base.
Cntl/Shift/C:testingcheatsenabled true, enablelotlocking on, click on Port, click on padlock to unlock.
Change to residential. Use hammer to delete port connection and port walkway.
Cntl/Shift/C: enablelotlocking off, testingcheatsenabled false.
Delete extra fencing, flooring, and "port".
I leave a port house and simply make it into a cheap starter house.
Perilous Place becomes a pink and turquoise shack on the water's edge:

Delete the trees in the way of getting to the door. Delete the stairs and level land in front of building a bit higher making a level area two tiles wide. Add stairs again holding alt when placing to avoid sinking land. Use terrain smoothing tool to create a routeable path that is not so sloped.
You can place houseboat sims into other homes on land, hoping that moving them resets their issues and you can relocate some sims into the starter homes.
I now have a bunch of starter houses of varying sizes on the ports that had buildings on them.
They are so quick to just add a few things to what is already there.
