I'm not sure how it is in your area but here is CA the telcom is only responsible for the line into the NID (box) unless they have provided the box (typical on some residential). In most commercial and some multifamily residential situations the box itself or termination point if inside the building, is the responsibility of the building owner to maintain.
I built a 20 unit apartment in the late 80's and we supplied the NID. Each termination in each unit was a home run, no daisy chaining. All the lines were rung-out and marked and terminated on punch down blocks by unit/room for the telcom to connect to. They came in undid all the punch down blocks and hooked up willy nilly with to concern about which line went to which unit/room and removed most of the ID tags. We didn't discover the problem until the units were being occupied.
