Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York
Slip and Fall
The toilet bowl in my basement apartment has been leaking water since the landlord fixed it. I told him about it several times and now I had an accident. The extent of the injury requires surgery to my knee. I have lived the past year with NO lease and the apartment might be illeagl. Can I sue him?

If he knew about it and failed to fix it, yes, you can. But you should probalby look for a new place to live.
