The property was open to the public, as long as I was behind the fence and not taking photos of the active psychiatric hospital everything was fine.

Joke gags, I suppose...

I believe this building was for people who were convicted or standing trial for a serious crime, and were being evaluated for mental illness.

Two.

Most of the spaces around the perimeter of room contained racks for storing caskets.

That looks pretty close; great find and thanks for posting it!

I'm usually with one or two other people, and alone every now and then.

The cemetery is not abandoned, only the chapel and crematorium.

I believe it lined the second floor around the lobby.

Most are torn down but many are re-used, such as this building, for residential and commercial space.

Vaults like these can become quite crowded after a disaster or outbreak of deadly disease in a populated city.

I didn't look behind the doors, they might have been lined with some kind of heat resistant material.

The fire escape doesn't look to be original... the postcard on the location page (1907) and a 1909 postcard both do not include it, yet a 1930s postcard does show it.

Yes, they were all intact.

Thanks, the color in this shot is actually unmodified - the red is from the infrared filter that was on the lens.
