How do I get my apartment building to require masks?

I'm trying to get my apartment to require the residents to wear masks in the shared spaces (stairwells, corridors, laundry rooms). Please help me make a persuasive argument to the management company.

Setting aside what the policy should be, or who should wear masks and questions of vaccination, as I understand it, the King County mask directive is in force until June 29, and according to the FAQ page, it applies to these common spaces:


Public indoor spaces are those that the public routinely enters, such as retail stores, government buildings (including office buildings and libraries), common areas in multi-unit housing, restaurants, and reception areas. Other areas where members of the public do not routinely enter, such as private office buildings, or inventory areas and back-offices in large box stores, are considered private indoor spaces. In private indoor spaces, the state Labor & Industries guidance would apply to employees (see #3).


Following June 29, the Washington Department of Health order is in effect, which I believe should apply similarly:
Every person in Washington State must wear a face covering that covers their nose and
mouth when they are in a place where people from outside their household are present or
in a place that is generally accessible to people from outside their household, subject to the
exceptions below and any face covering requirements and limitations on gatherings and
activities imposed by the Governor or other legal authority.

I don't think people in my building are ignoring the mandate on purpose. I think probably most of them are vaccinated and think they're following the CDC guidance. All I want from my management company is to post signs at the entrance and possibly send an email to residents to remind them that there is still a state and county mandate in effect.

Any advice about the accuracy of my interpretation of the mandates or how to address my communication to them would be appreciated.
