Those requirements tend to be present for new construction, but old buildings get "grandfathered in" and are exempt. The apartment I currently rent has essentially no insulation. There's the outer (wood) cladding, an air gap, then the lath & plaster inner walls. Single-pane windows. In Buffalo, NY.
