Answer

Who is usually responsible if a roof collapses in Mallorca?

Responsibility normally depends on who owns the building and whether there were known defects or delays in maintenance. In multi-owner buildings, property managers, owners and sometimes local authorities can all be part of the question of liability, especially if warning signs were ignored.
