This does not sound right. You can regulate district heating when it enters your house.

I have seen this several times in 1950s/1960s eastern bloc apartments.

I was only visiting, so I don't know if it was the original design, or if the valves have jammed.

This was standard in the Sowjet Union. If you think it’s too warm, you open the window.
