Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York
Construction in Bathroom 2 weeks and going
In my apartment, the super has been trying to fix the kitchen and bathroom to prevent water leakage to the lower level apartment, which apparently the landlord is trying to rent out. This problem obviously has been happening for many years since it seems hard to fix, but no action was ever taken since the lower level apartment was always vacant. Anyway, there is no sink in the bathroom , the walls are a wreck, there are large cracks on the floor where you can see the ceiling of the apartment below, there's cement dust everywhere in the apt, it stinks, shower curtain bar removed so can't take showers, etc. They have plans to remove the toilet for one day and said that we will survive the inconvenience. In the kitchen, the leakage is fixed, but the floor is hideous - just installed a piece of plywood and covered the edges with plaster. The landlord saw the job of the super and said it's taking too long. He wishes to have it done by tomorrow, but this does not look like it's going to happen and they don't work on weekends. Can I take any type of legal action? Or what can be done in this case? Where can I make a complaint?
