Most apartment buildings with HVAC have shared air intake and shared exhaust vents. So if my neighbor is running his A/C then he is actively exhausting hot air from his place which travels through the exhaust vents, some of it gets exhausted out the building and some of it gets recirculated. But the exhaust vents are shared, so if I’m not running my A/C then some of his hot air can end up in my place. In practice, is this a measurable effect?

The excess heat from apartments is transported to the evaporators on the roof. Your apartment’s unit has nothing to do with it.
