Order issued for neglect (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disuse

'for neglect' is the definition.
(both can mean a state of disrepair)

'order issued' is the wordplay.
'order' indicates anagramming the letters.
'issued' is an anagram of 'DISUSE'.

(Other definitions for disuse that I've seen before include "State of not being employed" , "Neglect; desuetude" , "Issued (anag)" , "Fall into this state to be unemplyed? (6)." , "Neglect; abandonment" .)
