Is there a specific term for the side walls of a building with no windows, doors or openings. Sometimes due to the demolition of an outbuilding, or waiting for a new building.
In Portuguese it is said "empena cega" (blind .....)
@sneakypete...not to be a stickler, but...a party wall is a single wall that supports the floors of the building's on both sides of it. In NYC we see this in older rowhouses where a developer put up 20 buildings at the same time, and they shared a single wall between each one instead of building 2 independent walls right next to each other. A party wall is normally built straddling the property line
I'd call this a lot line wall, but don't know that this is the official name for it.

Stickle away, I still am of the opinion that what he was asking about is a party wall.
"Sometimes due to the demolition of an outbuilding, or waiting for a new building"
"a single wall that supports the floors of the building's on both sides of it"
Seems like the same thing to me.
In zoning parlance, we call this a "blank wall."
