Update:
I had a friend talk me through what he thought the issue with my faucet was and after taking the handle off, I applied pliers to the brass stud to shut off the water and voila it worked.
Looks like one of the plastic parts is stripped so I will go get a new part and hopefully that fixes the issue long-term.
Unfortunately of course the issue of the shut off valves remain but that is no longer an emergency and I can hopefully wait to fix it during the next maintenance cycle of the buildings water being shut off.
