What is the term for a property that is unfit for human habitation?

The term for a property that is unfit for human habitation is "condemned property." This designation is typically assigned by local government or health officials when a building does not meet health and safety standards. Properties may be condemned due to a variety of issues, such as structural damage, lack of sanitation, or hazardous living conditions. The condemnation process often involves inspections and can lead to the property being vacated, demolished, or repaired to bring it back to a habitable state.

In this context, foreclosed property refers to real estate that has been taken back by the lender due to the owner's failure to make mortgage payments, which does not inherently indicate uninhabitability. Unzoned property refers to land that does not fall under any zoning laws, which also does not relate to whether a property can be inhabited. Finally, rental property is simply a term for property that is leased to tenants and does not imply any condition regarding habitability.
