if a house has "enter at own risk" spray painted on the front door can I still enter?

it looks very run down broken windows chipping wood and generally not very good but I still want to go inside and see it but will this be like a "monster house" scenario if I do go inside??? since it has the warning spray painted on the front door but it does not have a no trespassing sign could I get caught by the police and get in trouble too?

    I don't think it's a good idea.  There could be holes in the floor.  You could fall and get hurt.

    If it has that spray painted on the door, there is a HIGH PROBABILITY the structure is condemned and not even the legal owner can enter for any purpose other than repair.

    Any time private property is entered without permission of the owner, it's criminal trespass. There doesn't need to be a sign.

    I know about the place you are talking about. It is called "Attractive Nuisance." If you enter, you likely assume the risk. Once someone checks in, he may never check out. Be afraid, be very afraid.
