"to be allowed to decay" and "intentional neglect" aren't really the same thing, though.
The Electrohome site was so badly contaminated by its last tenant that it sat empty for 10 years -- and was then sold for a dollar. The new owner behaved very much unethically (in my opinion) in neither caring for the property or paying property taxes, but by the time they purchased the property it was already beyond saving due to the soil remediation and building repair costs.
I don't know the Forsyth building situation as well as ac3r, so I can't really comment on it.
