This shouldn't be an issue because the boiler, wherever it is, shouldn't even be on in the first place. It hasn't been anywhere near cool enough for the boiler to turn on, even at night, over the last couple weeks.
If the boiler is running, well, that's a whole other problem beyond your control.
This may seem like a silly question but what is your thermostat set to? And which way is your unit facing? (south?)
It doesn't sound like you have air conditioning. Frankly it has been unusually warm for a while now and without air conditioning your condo will probably warm up to somewhere near the ambient temperature (25+) and stay there all night.

ahhhhhhh you made a very strong argument... darn. It was hot as heck June 1st though, prior to the heat wave... but your right about the boiler... unless somehow it is same as hot water for condo, but thats a stretch.
Can't put AC in with the windows that stick out, concave... as a renter I don't want to nail in flaps or whatever I need into the window, unless anyone has suggestions on that front
