I know its a code violation to run cords above suspended ceilings. Is it a code violation to have buss drop cord come through a suspended ceiling in a commercial building for a hanging receptacle?

I think so, but nothing prohibits you from running conduit down to the drop ceiling level and installing a box that the cord can hang from.
