I lived in a high-rise in Toronto back around 1990, then a low-rise in Burnaby in 1992. Neither permitted trick-or-treating in the building. Even if yours doesn't have a prohibition, many people will just assume that it's not allowed.
If you actually like Halloween, you could always (a) ask if the management has a problem with trick-or-treaters in the halls (maybe just for resident children), and (b) if it's allowed, then make up a little notice for the building entryways suggesting that if people want to have trick-or-treaters visit, post a pumpkin on their door. That way, everybody would know the rules, and nobody would be bothered if they didn't want to participate (kind of like the unwritten rule for houses: if you don't want kids showing up, don't put out decorations, and don't turn on your porch light).
