    If your doors are fire-rated (compliance sticker somewhere on the frame), then measures to defeat the self-closing process are illegal, and should cause your building to fail the annual check that leads to filing of a compliance certificate with your local council.  Corrective action to make individual apartment doors compliant should be charged to the respective owners, along with the cost of callback for your fire services officers.  The Owners Corp may have to wear the cost attributed to the communal doors, but it should be a lesson learned.
