"Demolition by neglect" doesn't really apply to something that someone can demolish without any impediments whatsoever. The owner could send in a bulldozer tomorrow if they wanted to, and no one could stop it. This isn't a protected heritage building that a sleazy owner is trying to surreptitiously take down illegally by letting it go to seed until it reaches the point of no return.
