Are there storm windows? Yes
Is the residence warm enough? Yes, but it's very expensive to heat
Is it hard to regulate the heat?
(For example, does the thermostat work? Do you have to open windows in the winter?): Yes

Comments on any of the above (temperature):
The thermostat is in downstairs tenant's apartment, so I have no control over the heat!! Really bad situation, she turns it down and I get cold, then I still have to pay the heating bill. Make landlord change situation or DO NOT RENT.
