Unless my dog has magically learned to open doors or use an elevator to get down 5 floors, no there aren’t. He also has absolutely no desire to leave or explore without me.
I’m guessing you have a small dog? Maybe one with a lot of wanderlust?
Lol, you’re so desperate for your narrative to fit.
I also live in a condo. Something like 80% of the people in my building are pet owners, and pretty much everyone is a friend to animals. We don’t leave doors propped open. There is the slightest of chances that all three doors between my dog and the outside fail, nobody is around to stop him, and he suddenly develops a lust for adventure. That, however, is an incredibly unreasonable situation. If I was worried about something that unlikely then I would probably also have agoraphobia or something. There’s no way on earth I’d use a vending machine, that’s for sure. Those things can kill you!
There is an acceptable level of risk for everything. If we only engaged in 0-risk activities then we wouldn’t ride in automobiles, own kitchen knives, shower, or even eat. I think the most responsible thing people can do is assess their own risk and act accordingly. There is effectively a 0% chance my dog is able to reach the outside without supervision, so I have decided to not leave his harness on 24/7. Your circumstances may be different, and I respect that. I’m not going to try to shame you into my way of life. Because that would be silly.

My 80 pounds of fluff isn’t sneaking anywhere.
Your building has staircases, that’s one propped open door, and then a crash bar at the bottom of the staircase to get outside.
Nope, have got a 130# teddy bear and another 80# myself.
You have way too big of a dog for a condo type building, that’s a different issue entirely.
Wow you’re just the dog whisperer, you know everything about every dog and every persons situation.
At this point I’m pretty sure you’re just trolling and enjoying this.
