If I recall correctly, JOSM favours lifecycle prefixes
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_prefix, so you'd tag
`disused:building=*` or `abandoned:building=*` depending on how much
disrepair the building has fallen into. But take that with a grain of
salt because I'm speaking from the special kind of ignorance that
results from paying too much attention to this mailing list and the
Wiki.
