Playa de Palma Trial: Who Bears Responsibility After the Rooftop Terrace Collapse?

Answer

What changes could make terrace safety better in Mallorca?

One proposed improvement is a central, public database for inspection reports and final approvals so that responsibility is easier to trace. Another is more independent testing for load-bearing additions, along with regular maintenance logs and faster intervention when a structure changes use. In Mallorca, those steps could make oversight clearer for authorities, businesses and neighbors alike.
