Answer

What should residents in Mallorca do if they notice cracks or signs of structural damage in their building?

Residents should report the problem to the building community and the local town hall as soon as possible, especially if cracks are widening or parts of the structure seem unstable. It is also wise to document the damage with photos and keep a written record of when the issue was reported. If the situation looks urgent, people should avoid the affected area and contact emergency services.
