This situation may not be ideal for you, but its not illegal either. You agreed to pay the rent that you did; whatever the coop unit's maintainence fee is or the fact that your roommate has a bigger bedroom than you is irrelevant.

Do not confuse this situation with a subtenant in a rent stabilized apartment. You have no special "rights" other than what you agreed to with the owner, and if those aren't in writing (a lease) you are for all purposes a month to month tenant.

Since you're unhappy with the situation I would advise you to look for an apartment of your own elsewhere.
