condemned building
Marked for demolition
A condemned building is a structure officially declared unsafe or unfit for occupancy by government authorities.
Buildings are condemned when they pose hazards—structural damage, fire risk, contamination, or severe code violations.
Once condemned, the building typically cannot be legally inhabited until repairs are made or it's demolished: The city posted notices on the condemned building.
