Re: compressor
Resistance of the windings is different than megging the windings.
Winding resistance is taken with a multimeter (or ohmmeter) set to resistance/ohms/Ω (if not autoranging then generally the lowest range). Should be less than 40 Ω between the run terminal ("R") and common ("C"). It will be different between start ("S") and common, but I can never remember if it's a little higher or a little lower. The measurement between R & S is ≈ the sum of the measurement between R & C and S & C.
'Megging' a compressor is measuring the resistance of the insulation of the motor. It's taken with a megohmmeter between any one compressor terminal (doesn't matter which) and ground. With a cold compressor, it may be as low as 20 MΩ but may creep up as you measure. A regular multimeter isn't a good choice for this measurement. While it can tell you if the windings are good and shorted, it can't tell you if there's a weak spot that's getting ready to blow through.

If it were me, I'd remove the mess encircled in Red by cutting at the Yellow arrow and un-solder at the Orange arrow and rebuild as needed.

lack of counter space would be a non-starter with my wife. A shower instead of a tub would be another option.
How creative do you want to get??

Re: compressor
Amp draw on the compressor R, S, & C when the contactor draws in? Resistance between R & C and between S & C?

Re: Baseboard Heaters - Slant Fin - Maintenance
True but baseboards will get dirty faster if they don't clean the apartment. its not like they need cleaning every year. Probably every 5 years.

Need to take pictures from farther back so we can see the whole…..picture!
It looks like you have a bunch of return lines that drop down below the boiler water line before they connect.

I second Harvey suggestion. Walk away. This sounds like a no win situation.

On the gas manifold, there should be a marking that points to the location of the burner with the pilot assembly. They do that for a reason.
