Corpse found in Alcúdia disco ruin: Who is responsible for decaying places?

Answer

Why do neglected buildings in Mallorca stay empty for so long?

Empty buildings can remain unused for years because ownership is complicated, legal steps take time and some owners avoid the cost of repairs. In Mallorca, high housing demand does not always translate into quick action on old property, especially when a site is already badly damaged. The result is a slow drift into further decay.
