When using coordinate adjectives, a comma should be inserted between them to separate the adjectives. In this case, "abandoned" and "aging" are coordinate adjectives describing the buildings, so a comma should be placed between them to clarify that they are separate adjectives modifying the noun "buildings." This helps to improve the clarity and flow of the sentence for the reader.
