I live in an apartment that is heated by very, very old radiators on the second floor of a two unit building. The room where the thermostat is stays warm so the heat keeps turning off before any of the other rooms warm up. How can I heat my WHOLE apartment without turning the thermostat to 90+ degrees?

Radiators have valves that limit the amount of steam coming into them. Open or close as necessary. Use the bleeders to quickly bring steam into unused units.

If you have a clean system , new valves and other radiators work it has to be an airlock problem. Probably the pipe layout was badly designed . Probably it took ages for those radiators to fill on the fiirst installation too!. some how you need to force water in and bleed air out of the offending radiators.
