It's the same position that the building would be in should a Shareholder in the building hire someone who does not carry insurance or have a license to do the work if it is specialized and requires it. Should he get hurt on the job, he would probably sue the building, and your insurance provider more likely than not requires that all contractors and vendors who come into the building carry insurance and workman's comp, etc.
In addition, if this is a pre-1978 building, all work that includes demolition and/or scraping and painting in an area greater than six square feet must be done by an EPA certified Lead Safe firm. Food for thought.
This is a risk that is unnecessary in the building and only contractors with insurance and licenses should be working.
