That sounds pretty low. I believe it should be about 140 or 150 degrees if it's straight hot water.
Any good apartment would give you water that is too hot by itself, and requires cold water to bring it down to a good temperature.
If it's not coming out the tank of the heater at 130 degrees, there is risk for diseases and such as described here http://www.naturalhandyman.com/iip/infwaterheater/infwhadjust.html. This might give you the edge you need to force them to fix it.
("Tank temperature should be no less than 130 degrees to prevent bacterial growth, such as Legionnaires disease.")
