You can open windows in apartments higher than 3 stories. I remember opening windows on the 12th floor of apartments.

You can open windows on the 35th floor of my apartment building here in NYC. It was built in the early 1900s, so perhaps it's related to architecture choices / liability issues which weren't around back then.
