Ceiling collapses in Palma – who is liable for the safety of our homes?

Answer

Is it safe to stay in a Mallorca building after a partial ceiling collapse?

Not until the building has been checked by emergency services or technical staff. Even if only one room is affected, nearby areas can still be unstable, so residents are often asked to leave temporarily. In Palma, the usual approach is to secure the site first and then carry out a more detailed inspection before anyone returns.
