Our building had a weedy disused space located off the alley. Often people would dump garbage here. Over four weeks our family cleaned the space, built raised beds from reclaimed pallets, brought in organic dirt, made a mulch pathway, got a cool seat off of craigslist, safely learned about a few plants from neighbours (and were given clippings. We now have a lovely, welcoming space where interested building residents have been offered garden space. We use a chalk board to communicate in the garden about things that need done and have a visiting schedule so no more than two people/units are in the area at the same time.
