Good point. Do you think he knew which apartment was vacant or do you think he just got lucky and picked an empty one? Even though he jumped off the roof, I wonder if that specific apartment had any significance to him, such as it used to be his or someone he knew.
I would say that he knew a particular apartment was empty. Not unusual because it is common for specific apartments to be advertised whether online or elsewhere as available to rent:
Circumstances of death
Decedent entered the 17-floor private apartment building and stated he was there to see one of the residents. While the doorman was on the phone to call that resident, the decedent ran into the elevator. He was found 20 mins later in the courtyard of the building. The specific apartment he stated he was visiting is unoccupied.

However, I can't be sure from the way the above is written as to whether or not he was able to provide the doorman with the actual name of a specific tenant there. If he did, the apartment he provided was not the one in which the tenant he named resided in.
