Question

Is a building part of the society or part of the environment? (If buildings are being broken down, is it an environmental or social impact?)

Answer 1

This question is very vague but I see that you posted it in Chemistry.

We can then assume that a chemical reaction is occurring that most be breaking down the building, an example being rust or corrosion.  This would be environmental damage.

However, a building can be considered both a part of society and the environment depending on how you look at it.  Also, it can both have environmental and social impact if its being broken down.

Answer 2

It depends on the buildings material. if it has asbestos or SBS or mold of some type, it would both social, and environmental. if the building is a modern structure with no complications, then it is just social.
