Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York

I�m getting my first apartment in NYC and NYC has a bunch of crazy laws in regard to housing. If I see something that is in direct violation of the laws in the contract is it better to A. point that out so they fix the contract or B. leave it in and sign it with the idea that if they mess up and I have to take them to court I can point to the violation in the contract and have that section removed or better rule against the landlord because their contract was in violation of the state/city laws?

Too broad a question. You have to specify the violation. Some violations are more serious than others.
