It's called demolition by neglect.

ASBURY PARK The nearly 100-year-old Baronet Theatre at 205 Fourth Ave. was
razed Wednesday morning after being declared an imminent hazard due to an
interior structural collapse, city Fire Official Garrett Giberson said.
The 546-seat theatre first opened in 1913 as the Ocean Theatre, but had
operated only on an intermittent basis in recent decades. It finally closed for
good the past few years after being purchased by Asbury Partners, the
beachfront redeveloper.
Asbury Lanes, the popular bowling and live music venue next door at 209 Fourth
Ave. was not affected, Giberson said.

Giberson said the roof of the Baronet caved in to the interior of the theatre,
probably sometime during the winter.
"With the conditions found there, there was no saving it at this point,''
Giberson said.
Mazza Demolition was on site razing the building, he said.
