Yeah, we rented our apartment in Brooklyn NY in 1989, and none of the outlets were polarized.
Then my parents bought their co-op in 1995, and the same thing was there, all outlets were very old and non-polarized.
Of course, a highrise building, carpet/wood floors, no grounded structures nearby.
Kitchen is an entire different matter. I do not remember if there were outlets with a GND pin there, and how the fridge was plugged in.
I do remember that back on Russia, when our fridge was touched, one would feel a little "bite", as we called it. Not a real jolt, but unpleasant stinging sensation.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
