Cross Connection Backflow in apartment

I live in an apartment and for the last year the water (and urine) from the toilet has backflowed into the sinks if the hot water was running.

Follow Mr. Cohen's excellent advice, and make sure your letter to landlord is certified mail, return receipt requested.
