Reads like your Internet connection is provided by the apartment complex operator.
Not uncommon, these service providers don't assign public routable IPv4 address to your Internet connection resp. the WAN (Internet) port of your router. This does prohibit any IP port forwardings. Talk to the complex operator about the options for a fully feature internet connection service with public IP address, or look for a connection offered by an alternate ISP.
