Doesn't work. Just tested it. Any real emergency would have staff turn the elevator off service for police to use.

Most likely a double height floor with a Ballroom, theatre or indoor pool.

When I was in my early teens, I used to get bad nose bleeds when I had a cold and the air was dry.
One time it just wouldn't stop, so I went to the hospital and the first thing the doctor asked was if I had used cocaine and he needed to take a blood test before doing anything, and would have to report it if the test was positive for cocaine.
I agreed and the tests were negative, but all he did was stuff cotton in my nose and told me to hold my head back until it stopped bleeding.
There's some facts in that anecdote.

Was this in Russia? 'cos I don't remember anybody, lleast of all the police, giving a shit about the law in Russia unless they could make a straf out of it.

That's weird. In my pre-teens I suffered from recurring and severe nose bleeds and at one point when I was 9 years old I had to be admitted to an emergency room because that nose bleed incident wouldn't stop. The first thing the doctor asked me is if I did coke. I told him I liked coke and he started to call the police before my parents explained to him that I meant coca-cola and that I was too young to know what cocaine was and what the hell was wrong with him. They ended up stopping the nose bleed with a frozen compress then I got the problem fixed for good by getting the blood vessels in my nose cauterized. True story ... except the coke part.

Just stumbled onto this thread now, but I'll answer with an "fact" of my own:
In East Asian cultures (Japan, China, etc) the number 4 is considered unlucky as it sounds like the word for "death".
So like how western cultures don't have a 13th floor, many buildings in those countries don't have a 4th floor.
