unrepaired
Left in disrepair
Unrepaired describes something that remains broken, damaged, or faulty because it has not been fixed.
The word applies to physical objects like unrepaired roads or unrepaired machinery, as well as abstract matters like unrepaired relationships.
Something unrepaired may stay that way through neglect, lack of resources, or deliberate choice.
