What can be done? Does anyone have experience with this? A building with 5 condominiums built in 2018. Fiber optic cable was only installed in the street after the house was completed and now it cannot be routed into the building because the conduit pipes were supposedly sealed due to fire safety concerns.

What else can you do except contact the responsible authorities? Fiber optic providers, property owners, the civil engineering department...
And as everywhere else, the saying holds true:
Persistent dripping wears away the stone. You don’t have to bother people every day, but every now and then send an email or, even better, make a call to remind them and show that “You won’t get rid of me, forget it.”

Because you can count on that. Getting quick results is unlikely. These things take time.

Then they should just fish the cable through again. That’s a common procedure.

Try passing a cable through a firestop. Not even a G36 can get through that.

Which fire barrier are you referring to in the multifamily house of the OP? Are the basement exterior walls each built as fire barriers?

Wait a moment: You are certainly referring to the pipes running from the basement into the residential units, right? Yes, that is relevant for fire protection.
