The Hot /Cold Shower

I've been in this Condo 5 years. Enitre complex is runoff of a gas heater and then sent off allover the place and kept hot by many exchengers. All these years, I put up with the hot /cold shower effect like flushing a toilet. I have separate handles,one for hot , one for cold,one for the shower/tub. If I go into the wall where the access is to the plumbing, would closing off the hot valve just a bit help this problem?

Definitely not. There are remote pressure balancing valves to fix that if you're not willing to replace the whole shower valve.

if you are up to getting some new tiling work, install a pressure balance valve (have a single lever that controls amount of water and then temperature) in place of your current shower tap.
