I know nothing about it but my instinct is to turn off the system, especially the heat. I just installed a water heater and they made it clear to get all the air out of the tank and lines before applying power to the heating elements. Running them dry would quickly burn them up.

Thanks for the input. I believe that would apply to electric type heating though. With no water to absorb the heat from the element, yes, they would very quickly burn out.

Contact a HVAC company for about $79 they will come out clean the boiler and flush all the lines and bleed all radiators and make sure you don't have any other problems...if the landlord wont reimburse you it is still money well spent
