Hello,
When the Beit haMikdash [Jerusalem Temple] was destroyed, the sages enacted that any Jew building a structure should leave a part unfinished, in a visible area near the entrance, as a memorial to the destruction of the Temple. That segment should have an area of about 3 square feet.
If a Jew buys a structure which was built by a non-Jew, he is not obligated to damage it in order to create such a memorial.
(Code of Jewish Law Orach Chaim 560:1; Mishneh Berurah 560:3-4)
Have a good day,
Mordechai
