Answer

Why do abandoned buildings in Mallorca sometimes stay unnoticed for years?

Some vacant buildings in Mallorca are tucked away, poorly maintained or left without regular checks, so problems can remain hidden for a long time. If a place is only occasionally visited, signs of occupation or distress may go unnoticed until someone happens to enter it. That is one reason local residents are often asking for better oversight of empty properties.
