To stop your Sims from moving into empty lots, you can try a few different methods, including unchecking the ‘Fill Empty Homes’ option in the game options under ‘gameplay’, or using the MCCC mod to disable homeless move-in by clicking on an in-game computer and selecting MCCC > MC Population > Moving Settings > Allow Homeless Move-in > False. Additionally, you can also try changing the number of beds to zero on the lot to prevent NPCs from moving in, or removing the light source, door, and a bit of wall to make the lot uninhabitable.
