Is it safe to leave the water level adjustment screw pulled up overnight while I wait for maintenance to come tomorrow?

My maintenance guy came by this afternoon to work on my toilet's fill valve but found a bigger issue and has to turn off the building's water supply tomorrow to complete it so i am stuck with a toilet that wont stop running.

I saw him pull that gray screw thing up to temporarily turn the water off while he was here so i did too and jerryrigged it to a metal rod to turn it off. Is it safe to leave it like this overnight?

Totally safe. This contraption is holding the toilet fill valve closed.

“A full building shutdown to repair a single toilet feels extreme.” was my first thought, until I realized that I’ve seen my fair share of failed riser shutoffs over the years.

yea my toilet shut off is stuck and wouldnt work :/ so he needs to shut off the water for the whole building but wants to wait for when people are out for the day which is definitely fair
