The mobile app thing is weird for sure.
I think reasonable people can disagree on the use of facial recognition by law enforcement (in the "point a camera at the sidewalk and see what happens" sense) but I see absolutely no reason why a private entity should be able to use this type of technology. A landlord doesn't have the right to know the identity of every guest every one of their tenants has - they just don't. A commercial venue like the whole MSG thing is a little stickier but the scale of it and the wild potential for abuse (again, MSG) makes my gut reaction an outright ban.
I'm not crazy about the government/LE doing this either but I'm really not crazy about private entities doing it.

My understanding is that these facial recognition systems for building access work by registering and storing the face data of the people who are supposed to be able to open the locked door.
