One who causes or allows something to fall into disrepair; a person guilty of dilapidation.
From dilapidation + -or (agent noun suffix). Latin-based formation meaning 'one who lapidates or destroys.' Rare in modern usage but historically employed in property law contexts.
Historically, 'dilapidators' were tenants held legally responsible for letting buildings crumble—the word embodied medieval landlord-tenant disputes and the question of who bears the burden of maintaining property.
