There was a house like that on my block, but lived in... the guy didn't have running water or electricity in a house that would have been 200-400k easily if he had maintained It as a livable home... instead he so let it so go to pot that the new owners had to knock down all but the attached garage to remodel that dump.

There must've been a restricted structure size on that lot. Not enough lot size to support a structure of that size. The owner can get around that zoning rule by leaving part of the existing structure stand and building onto or around it.
Then it would be considered an existing structure.
