Answer

Can unpaid community fees build up in a Mallorca apartment if nobody inherits it?

Yes. If ownership is not clarified quickly, community fees, water charges, electricity costs and other shared expenses can keep falling due even though nobody is actively managing the apartment. That leaves the owners' association or the remaining neighbours to carry the burden in the meantime.
