What do you know about abandoned buildings?
<|assistant|>
Abandoned buildings can be incredibly dangerous. If a building has been unoccupied and abandoned for a long period of time, it can pose a health hazard as it can become a refuge for rats, pests and vermin. Buildings can also suffer from dilapidation and deterioration, which can cause structural instability and a potential collapse. Further to this, unsecured abandoned buildings can become a breeding ground for vandalism, trespassing and various types of criminal activity. Abandoned buildings can often attract people seeking refuge and squatters, and can also be targeted by scrap metal thieves. In addition to this, abandoned buildings often create an eye sore within the local community, decreasing local property values and aesthetic. For these reasons, it is highly important to seek professional demolition services when dealing with an abandoned building.
