Answer
What can Mallorca residents do if they feel their reports about building damage are being ignored?
They should keep a written trail of every report, including dates, photos and any replies from the building community or authorities. If there is no reaction and the risk is worsening, it may be necessary to escalate the issue through the town hall or seek legal advice. Persistent documentation can be important if responsibility is questioned later.
