You could be right. I think the best thing you could do is to get it on
record with the property management.

The "Cable Inside Wiring rule" 47 C.F.R. 76.800 covers Cable TV drops.
The "Telephony Demarcation Point rule" 47 C.F.R. 68.105(d) covers
telephone drops.
Nothing covers information service drops and as it stands, they remain
the property of whomever installed them at least as far as I can
tell. One of the reasons we are moving to fiber. Less ambiguity
about drop ownership.

I know this is the case for video service drops, I.e coax, but
is it also the case for cat5 or fiber drops?

Yes, most of the time it is in use. Let me rephrase drop
ownership. Even if we (or anyone else for that matter) put
in new drops, the building owns it. Period. That's the law.
You can put diplexers on the drops to isolate services.
This usually ends up in a fight with the cable company.
And they lose, every time. I have many stories, but I'm
not going to talk about that on a public list.

Was the existing coax not in use at the time?

We have done a bunch using the existing coax in
the building. Usually the property owns the drops
to the units. It's nice when all of the customers
are in one place. :) I will say this though, stay
away from low income housing. Leave those for the
telco and cable.
You will be disappointed trying wireless in a
brick building.

Is there really any money in MDU
deployments? If so, are you
doing WiFi or wired to the end user?
