Answer

How do Mallorca town halls usually handle reports of dangerous buildings?

In principle, reports should lead to an inspection and, if needed, to temporary safety measures. In practice, the speed of the response can vary depending on resources, workload and the complexity of the case. A clear follow-up process is important so residents know their warning has actually been checked.
