I wouldn't put it past Slingblade or the building management to just straight up lie to him about this to get him to shut up.

Nah. Maintenance inspections and tenancy inspections are two separate things. A lot of places require regular testing of certain things (especially smoke detectors) and landlords will often hire a company to test all of their properties at the same time. It usually takes a few minutes if everything is OK. I've never seen maintenance inspectors give the slightest shit about anything other than what they were sent to test. It does ping the landlord's radar if a tenant refuses to let the maintenance people do the inspection, though. That's often a sign that something bad is happening.
