Is the house have forced hot air as its heating source?

If the fridge has water-through-the-door, it may have a small tank in the fridge to cool the water; you need to empty that tank, or move the fridge somewhere warm.The furnace, if new enough, might have a water drain that operates even when the *heat* is running.

The building was occupied by the owner who lived in one of the units and had the thermostat that controlled the heat for the entire building in her unit.The heat for the building is produced by a single gas fired steam boiler which was installed last year when the old oil boiler was replaced.What is the best option for controlling the heat for the property?

When was the roof, heating system, etc. last serviced or replaced?

You may be better off rebooting and trying again in March or April when things start warming up (and heating up in the market).

I just Changed my thermocouple and now it gives off a weird smell ( not egg or gas) and the metal shield gets hot during heat up.

Primarily, a sealed envelope of building, 2 years of roof, health & safety items like adequate heating, venting, no visible discoloration (mold), egress from each bedroom, termites, peeling lead paint, drainage issues, secured railings, and as miniscule as trip hazards if they are having a bad day.

What is the typical Cap Ex on a 24 year old duplex house, in Kansas City, MO which is between 1000 sq ft and 2000 sq ft, wherein one AC electric unit is new, the other one is 8 years old, where the heating systems in the 2 units are 8 years old and where the ages of the water heater and roof are undisclosed?
