Pipes Bursting all over the Place :( HALPP

So I have several older apartments and with the weather getting really cold, I've been getting some pipes bursting. None of the basements are well insulated and have no central heating.

What do you guys to do keep these places from bursting beyond just placing a couple space heaters here and there?

There are those foam insulation sleeves you can put on the pipes. If you have the furnace in the basement it throws off some heat and you need to seal openings to the outside. Rock wool insulation I have put this in problematic single pane basement windows I am not ready to replace. Foam board insulation around permiters walls can be done.
