My new apartment has no 3 prong plugs with ground

Just moved, my new apartment has no three-pronged plugs within any distance of my living room. Only old 2 prong plugs with no ground.
I have been using a 3-pronged converter for now.

Anyone think this will effect my system?
Danger in damaging something?
Should I chase new wires up and put in a new outlet?

There are old style screw-in fuses in the basement.

The house is a duplex, our floor has 100 amps: 2 X 30 and 2 X 20, people below us have 140 for some reason. Maybe its their new kitchen. Looks like the dryer is on its own 30amp wring which is good.

I screwed the cheater into the center screw of the faceplate. Not going to mess with anything for now, the wiring is a nightmare in the basement.
