The electrical code generally will allow wiring that met the code when 
it was installed to stay.

That being said it is likely that the work that was done to build an 
apartment was done while a more current electrical code was in effect.

So you could report the violation but that would not endear you to your 
landlord and possibly not end well for either of you.
