Municipal technicians, local police officers, and a small fire crew were present at number 17, a building that until a few years ago housed Citizen Services offices for the Balearic Government on the ground floor. According to Joan Cortès, the technician responsible for opening urban planning files at the City Hall, the property already had a notification and a preliminary work order, corresponding to the year 2024, due to the first-floor ceiling. This initial notification required the owners to appoint a responsible technician within a maximum of three days and contact the Municipal Planning and Heritage departments to coordinate the work, which they failed to do. </p>]]></description>
