Answer

Why do abandoned buildings in Mallorca become a safety problem?

Abandoned buildings can quickly turn into unsafe places when windows are broken, rubbish builds up and basic maintenance stops. On Mallorca, that can also make them attractive as informal shelter, which increases the risk of fire, injury and criminal activity. The problem is usually not just the building itself, but the mix of neglect, housing pressure and weak oversight.
