I suspect this is done as part of insurance requirements or fire code requirements for dealing with failures in the detection systems.

There should be notices at all entrances and elevators as well. The fire department will also have been notified.

CAN/ULC-S536-04 has a list of requirements for partial or full shutdowns of fire detection systems.
That makes sense.

I guess her history with the property management company just has me a bit paranoid about the whole thing.
