The apartments are different from penthouses. They have elevators but when you travel there you choose which apartment you want to visit and you spawn there. The apartment front doors are already built and fixed and can't be moved but they do have the trespassing settings.
For penthouses, you can delete everything on that floor but you need to add back an elevator, mailbox and trash chute. Then you can build walls and doors wherever you want. But you can't set a front door which is where the trespassing options are.
It may be a bug but I think it's always been that way. Most likely just bad design, nothing new.
Ive recently set my sim up in a penthouse in the Arts area in City Living. I deleted everything apart from the elevator, mail box and trash chute. After building I noticed you cant set a front door which if I remember rightly has always been this way. Problem is people of the streets just walk in and do what they want and you cant get them out. No knocking, hello, nothing. I have other doors leading outside to a large balcony and they are coming in to use MY swimming pool as well. All I can do is lock the Main door and unlock when needed. Im guessing without the Front door option you cant stop people from walking in as they like. As its residential and not a business this shouldn't happen anyway. You shouldn't have to set a front door and choose no tress passing in a residential penthouse as its obvious. This needs fixing.. ☹️ Might have to move my sim. Ooooh the frustration. (NO MODS or CC)
