I wonder if the building has on-site security. If not and you really think someone is on property without permission, call the police. No need to put yourself in "danger" by getting on the elevator with him and following him to his apartment?
If it was her that opened the locked door into the secure residential building, then it is her responsibility to not allow someone to piggyback on her key to enter the building without proof. If something happened then it would be her fault.
No, it isn't. If somebody enters a building while you're exiting and you have reason to suspect anything, call building security (if it exists) or the police if it doesn't and let them handle it from the onset.

I realize that it is highly annoying to have someone stand in the doorway of your own building but people pay for this level of security. He should understand where she is coming from. Again, I would offer proof as soon as I approached her.
Why? She isn't security, or the police, or the property manager. While she was employed by a property management company, her employer did not own or have any affiliation with that building. She was just one of the dozens of residents.

This woman got fired for being white.
No. She got fired for racial profiling and escalating a situation.
It probably says that anyone that bypasses security or allows someone else to will be kicked out of the condo for violating the security policy. Cameras and FOB reading data would identify the breach. And they both would have been kicked out. So she was protecting herself, protecting him, and potentially protecting the residents from an unauthorized intruded.
She could have reported him to security to protect herself and only he would have been kicked out, But she was kind enough to let him enter properly, which he refused to do. If she hadn’t, and called security instead, she still would have been accused of racism.
She called the police even after she saw him use his key to get into his apartment.

She obviously did not feel in danger. She was just trying to kindly impress on the man the importance of following safety protocol.
She should sue her employer for false accusations of racism and defamation of character. Would a racist person feel comfortable rationally reasoning with a person instead of calling 911 and reporting a suspicious “black” man?

The level of deference you are giving this white woman and how she acted is not all that surprising. Totally absurd? No doubt, but what you laid down here is exactly what black Americans have to deal with on the daily. Ironic isn't it how folks of color rarely, if ever, get the sort of leeway you are more than willing to grant to this creep. Care to enlighten us all as to why from your point of view?
She called the police even after she saw him use his key to get into his apartment.
Which she was trying to avoid having to do. That’s the point. She was trying to give the guy a break, but as usual, some people prefer to be belligerent instead of following the rule/law.
Unfortunately, the unemployed with plenty of time on her hands busy body still lives there, so who knows how she'll greet him the next time she sees him.
