An application lodged with Ipswich Borough Council seeks permission to demolish Blocks B and C at the College Street site within the Wet Dock Conservation Area.
The Victorian red-brick buildings were originally intended to be converted into flats as part of the wider Cranfield Mill redevelopment approved in 2005.
However, planning documents state they have stood empty for decades and have deteriorated to the point where they are unsafe to enter.
A structural assessment identified failing foundations, widespread rot within floor structures and significant corrosion of metalwork.
The report concluded retaining the buildings was "not a realistic option".

Developers say demolishing the blocks is necessary to allow repairs to the neighbouring 23-storey Mill tower, whose residential floors have never been occupied because of defective cladding.
The cleared site would provide access for scaffolding and be used as a construction compound during repair works, which are expected to take around two years.
Once the tower has been refurbished, separate plans would be brought forward to redevelop the site.
