One thing I've found in buildings like the one you described is that there is either no extinguisher at all on each floor, or it's several years out of date and left with barely enough pressure to blow out a birthday candle. I know we had to report our landlord (who lived in the next building, rather than the abstentee landlords one usually finds) for her extinguishers being out of date. She fixed it once, and then it slowly got to the point where it was expired again. (lived there 7 years, lol)
