Yes, old brick houses are uninsulated and it's very difficult insulating without gutting them. It is what it is, so you need to pump in enough BTUs.

We are in an old brownstone in DTJC and we have always been aware this could happen during a really tough cold snap. We would never complain to our landlord about it getting below whatever the regulation is because we know what we signed up for when renting an uninsulated brownstone built in the mid-1800s (also because she’s always been a great landlord).
