Do It Legally for Free
I've found that contacting a realtor and asking them about buildings is a good route or if you find a building that you want to use, contacting the owners. If you tell them that you are making a no-budget film or better yet that you are a "student filmmaker" (sometimes it is a blessing and sometimes a curse to be labeled that) they are usually cool with letting you shoot there for free. That way with their permission you'll never be kicked out or arrested half way through the shoot, plus you'll have time to get into the moment and think of new things without trying to hurry and get out before the cops come. On the other hand sneaking into places makes for a better story.
