Some radiators do not produce heat consistently, there have been steam leaks in the basement, and the previous owner clearly did not keep up with annual maintenance.

Most of the updates are cosmetic throughout, but the house has an old boiler /radiator system for heating (no ductwork is installed).

Also, if you have open spaces like open piping in the floor by a radiator or something like that, get some steel wool and fill the hole. 

Needless to say dumb a sellers agent went in to turn on boiler because one of the repairs were to fix all radiators to soon find out his repair men had cut an entire pipe on first floor leading to second so the entire rooM filled with steam.

All around the house is radiator heating with a gas powered boiler in the basement on an elevated concrete slab.

The contract with the plumber specifically included the removal of the radiators.

is this reasonable - it’s pittsburgh. with one boiler and 4 units, they really can’t control the cost). some room to do some things there - thermostats for each radiator - roughly $200 a pieces, 14 needed - easy. otherwise ‘double hung’ thermostats - the open the windows if too hot!

I am hoping it continues to see growth as the effects from the Bay Area housing market continue to radiate outwards to the surrounding areas.

Hey,So in our apartment we had gas supply that would provide us with hot water all day round.The owner decided to take out the gas supply and so he replaced the radiators and the boiler for the water with electric ones.After testing the water we found that there was only half the pressure ad before and the water would be luke warm at best after 3-4 minutes.

Here’s a little story about my negotiation as a tenant: There was a time when I lived in Jersey, and went through surgery, chemo and radiation.
