A dilapidated building is a structure that has fallen into a state of disrepair due to neglect, age, or damage. These buildings often have broken windows, crumbling walls, and overgrown vegetation surrounding them. They may pose safety hazards and can be found in both urban and rural areas. Such buildings can be remnants of historical architecture or abandoned properties. They often attract attention from local communities and can be the focus of renovation efforts. In some cases, local governments may step in to address safety concerns or promote redevelopment in the area.
