I mean, 0 new apartments would be built

Existing apartments would be removed from the market too. $100 per month costs the owner more than keeping the apartment empty, because tenants are a risk.

If people thought that such a law was going to be permanent, or if there were fees for leaving apartments empty, then many (most?) apartments would be permanently destroyed - either converted to something else (condos, commercial space, etc) or just demolished so that the land could be used some other way.

You forgot the outcome that they could be sold. You know, so that a non landlord could own one.

Until someone needs a home and they build it

Where are they living while they save up the several hundred thousand it costs to build one?

You're right, the first time shelter was built in human history it was a Blackrock apartment complex.

How could i forget.
