I don't think it has happened yet, either.
It isn't speaking of the city of Babylon belonging to Nebuchaddrezar which remains uninhabited.
It is in reference to a real, existing city at that time. I think Rome.
Rome still exists and isn't completely abandoned, therefore it hasn't happened yet.
Not Jerusalem 70ad, since Jerusalem is still inhabited. And Jesus is coming back to rule over an uninhabited city.

Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
