Answer

What can Mallorca municipalities do about derelict buildings?

Municipalities can map risky properties, prioritise the most dangerous ones and order basic safety measures such as closures, lighting and inspections. If owners do not act, administrative procedures can be used to secure the site or, in some cases, move it towards public use. Social services also matter, especially when people are staying in the building because they have nowhere else to go.
