A burning hot radiator does not make it an unsafe environment.

Hi,A tenant asked me to install radiator covers to protect their newborn when he crawls around.Does anyone know if this is the responsibility of the landlord?

The last owner provided the tenants hot water radiator heat via a single thermostat for the building that he controlled in his unit. 

We will be seeing record breaking temperatures around the Quad Cities this week and I want to know if HUD normally winterizes boiler/radiator systems?

Boiler/Steam Radiator heat - boiler is ~12 years oldSome floor joists have minor cracks - this should be easily fixable right?

The whole house is heated by a boiler with radiators throughout the home, with the thermostat currently in the basement.

This is a headache for me and an added cost, and for tenants it's something they don't want to deal with- Oil has yearly maintenance due to soot, and it's a radiator system so there's pipes everywhere that could burst or rust out over time.Taking into account distribution, energy, transmission, and other miscellaneous charges, it would be $0.14073/kWh for electric pricing.Electric would give me (1) easy addition with an electrician running wiring, baseboard, and probably a new panel (2) no need to take care of an oil tank, and (3) no furnace to maintain at all, only a hot water heater.My biggest concerns is cost to operate.

Make sure air vents and radiators are not blocked or obstructed.7.

.**  The 90 degree right angle radiator valves were swapped out on many other radiators; this one was not modified. 

If the building is large oversized freestanding radiators I'd highly consider swapping it out for a couple of wall mount boilers that are daisy chained together with outdoor temperature reset control. 2x reasons, it can modulate the temperature of heating water on mild days and if the demand is low it only needs to use 1 boiler.
