Damn smoke detector just started beeping every minute or so. Problem is my apartment has vaulted ceilings and I don’t have a latter tall enough to reach it. Can’t get ahold of maintenance. Fml…

Root cause analysis would suggest you accepted the risk of living in a unit with a smoke detector you can't reach with your current tools.
Buy a decent ladder, and some spare 9 volts. The other detector batteries will fail in short order.
Our last house had a great room with a vaulted ceiling 24' high, and two hardwired detectors. It also had electrically run dormer windows at the peak...over a concrete floor. I didn't really want a 26' extension ladder, but I had to have one.
Not our stuff, photo from the original listing.
