Answer

Who is responsible for securing a ruined property in Mallorca?

Responsibility usually sits with the property owner first, but the local municipality and other authorities may also need to step in if there is an immediate risk. In practice, responsibility is often passed around, especially when owners are absent or legal procedures move slowly. That is why derelict sites can remain open and dangerous for a long time.
