If there was no built-in heat source when you signed the lease, you're probably out of luck. You knew what you were agreeing to. As long as there's some safe way to heat the room (like an electric heater), it's habitable.

That doesn't absolve the landlord from the legal requirement.

At worst the landlord could be forced to provide a $20 space heater, and even that could be debatable.

The point is that the landlord has plenty of very cheap remedies that avoid responsibility for breaking the lease, and holding the tenant responsible until it's re-rented.
