You need to check the local regulations.
If you can not live there presently there might be a way to change the use or otherwise comply with the regulations so that residential usage is allowed.
Note that if this was heavy industrial you might have environmental issues that are fine for a business but which are not allowed for a residence.
Business use property is converted all the time to residential. The level of work varies a lot. Some allowance is made for an owner operator living on site. This is very much a local planning issues so you will need to check with the local entity that regulates housing in the community.

In the US, most municipalities if not all have restrictions about living in an industrial space. In fact have zoning bylaws that govern the use of all structures designating them as residential, retail, manufacturing, light manufacturing, ect.
That said I know people who do it, every situation is different one of my friends is in a place where everyone knows that it’s going on and it’s cool and another friend who has to be very quite and careful.

I agree with the other answers...also, the property might be contaminated with hazardous substances like mercury which could be *VERY* unhealthy for you.
