First things first—we don't want to promote illegal activity. But, if we were looking for an adventure that only Gotham could offer, we'd definitely take the risk if it meant a perusal through these haunting spaces. While most abandonded buildings are falling apart and covered with mold that's likely older than our parents, others possess an almost unreal beauty and untouched allure. They are so cool, in fact, that you may consider growing a moss carpet for your own living room. Whether you're seeking artistic inspiration or just love to live on the edge, take a peek around these neglected structures.
