I am fairly certain Tesla pays for the electricity at all Superchargers. Other details vary (sometime Tesla even pays the owners a fee, others they do not), but as far as I know in all cases they cover the juice. (This is distinctly different than their destination charging program where I believe the business owners do in fact pay for it)

Healthy Living Market and Cafe definitely pays for some/all of the power at the Burlington, VT supercharger hosted in their lot. Picture from plugshare:

If you need this SC, why speculate on who shut it down? Ask the mall operator if he/she did it. Stop & Shop grocery store is across the street and food is an essential item for everyone. No charge means you can't get to the grocery store. A compassionate person would turn on the power.
Maybe the mall operator turned off power to make us stay at home. They have no right to control us. Tell them you will file a police complaint and notify governor.

The power is still on, but the garage is closed so you can't access the chargers (I still have no idea why they decided the top level of a parking garage was the right place for these instead of, say, the corner of the giant parking lot...).
I have reached out to the property management company, and so far the response has been
Am continuing to press them to see if we can get a better resolution.

Good job pressing them! You should ask how a closed garage is safer than an opened one. Maybe they are concerned about a law suit from a person claiming to be infected from an unclean garage.
I would ask if they also closed the top floor of the garage for drug deals or if that’s still technically open 
Thanks @appleguru for pressing the issue here - have you heard any update on the garage being open to utilize the charger since the last 2 weeks?
Is it open for limited hours during the day or anything like that?
Thanks for any information you can provide!

Having charged here on several occasions, I'm going to have to confirm your account. There always seemed to be a few cars and people hanging out on the otherwise empty 6th floor, occasionally coming and going meeting others there.
