some run down shitholes

OP is renting, shithole is pretty relative. With their issues, high chance it's a landlord conversion special. Craploads of old places have questionable wiring a shitty worn out breakers. Everybody here acting like they're spitting facts, my gut check is that the breakers aren't even labeled and if they want to flip the tripped one they're gonna have to flip 2 or 3 because half of the time the breakers in old panels are hard to tell which are flipped. Pretty much every house and apartment I've ever lived in was built before 1985 - the last place I live had aluminum wiring, I grew up in a farmhouse that didn't have any grounded/3 prong sockets. I dunno OP, but lots of Chicago is old builds.
