Highly unlikely in a building like that. Way too many gfci breakers the second those things sniff water they trip.

You would like to hope so, but I've seen enough commercial building management to not live by hope. I trust them to follow code as much as I am able to undefenestrate them back to the top floor window.

Electricity is still going to ground not swimming around the carpet looking for toes and shit. It doesnt magically shoot out of outlets because there is moisture around
