surely that would only arise if they were knowingly allowing an agency to operate without a touristic licence.
That's how I heard it, and for that reason ... and because holidaymakers were supposedly repeatedly making a public nuisance of the complex. Hearsay, though, but the fine I heard was 30,000 Euros.

Yes that is usually the figure banded about and mostly it is scare tactics from residents or committees trying to prevent owners using their legitimate rights under the concession allowed for residentail complexes.
We were told the same in the early days and at that time it was based on 2 well known complexes in Los Cris.
I have never been able to establish any actual court details or judgements for these supposed cases.
A fine for a breech of the law is another matter entirely IMHO. Surely there would have to be due process and a guilty verdict first... or maybe not
The trouble is that you're assuming UK processes, and it really is different here. Any fine for anything like this, and this includes unapproved building works as well as illegal letting, would come from the Ayuntamiento, and they have power to do almost anything ... including overturning one of their own prior judgements if need be.
Any judgement against a "complex" will be against the community of owners, which is a legal entity. It's no different therefore to issuing a fine against a company, and in the case of a community would be issued to the President.
