Does this sound like adequate heat for 750 sq ft bottom level apartment in a home?

[Grasswire2]

Apt Consists of LR K, BR, bath.

A baseboard heater in LR.
A bathroom wall heater that is rarely used as there's a problem with it not turning off.
A bedroom baseboard heater unused because it's basically a storage room too and not much space.

The weather has been about 45 degrees for several weeks and I'm feeling the chill.
I have a small electric foot heater that helps. And I sometimes just turn on the oven for a little while.
But I'm wondering, from the POV of HUD, if the apartment provides heat that is up to code. My plug-in foot heater shouldn't count.

Whaddya think?

1. Electric baseboard heat is really expensive

I use one of those radiator-looking oil filled heaters. Takes care of a space larger than yours for much cheaper than baseboard heaters.

2. Contact landlord. Deosn't sound up to snuff IMO. Bath heater won't turn of...that's a problem.

Bedroom to small? Having to turn on the oven at times...not good. Foot heater necessary...could be a hazard.

4. yeah, landlord is very cheap....

....although it's a million dollar older home. In some ways I'm lucky to be here, so I put up with the cheapness of the landlord

Right on the bank of a beautiful river..

3. you should not be that cold inside. Rather than a foot heater, get a twin size electric blanket

I sometimes get terribly cold and achy for no good reason (even in the summer if the AC is blowing on me.) That electric blanket is the only thing that will melt my bones. (they feel like they have turned to ice). When it happens I do not want the whole house to be hot just because my legs are cold.

5. 67 degrees F is a reasonable level for older folks.

If you can't maintain, the landlord should correct. In the meantime, get an electric blanket for bed and the chair, if you are so inclined.

6. We Once Rented An Older Home

Window, unless they are modern replacements, leak badly. Maybe the landlord will pop for 3M window kits.
Second, our fireplace had a terribly leaky damper. I placed a card table in front of the hearth & it made a huge difference.
Finally, in our house now, we have a basement rec room. Since the house is heated with circulating hot water, you need the fin & tube radiators, which the basement doesn't have. The basement has to direct walkout to the backyard ao that wall is exposed to the elements. To take the chill out, we have a quartz block heater. We upgraded to one that looks like a small fireplace, but still have the old one.
It works really well. Safer than electric resistance coils because the surface doesn't get hot enough to start paper or fabric on fire. Nearly 100% efficient, too.
