Are there any standards as to which walls in an apartment would be structural or not? Or any way to determine it in an apartment so they aren't just going on the word of a contractor that it's safe (or not) to remove? I know how it works for a house but no so much a building like that.

please help your buddy find a qualified contractor who knows what he is doing. You are not really helping anyone if you don't even know where to find the blueprinter of the structure. Especially its an apartment. You are risking everyone who are living in the building.
