You also have the right to have the lease put in your name and all rights that any rent stabilized leaseholder would normally enjoy. Start gathering whatever documentation you have, such as marriage license, checks from joint accounts,etc just in case you need to document your relationship. If you're paying the rent from your own checking account keep a copy of the cancelled checks. Landlords sometimes try to intimidate spouses who aren't named on the lease.

: If you live in a rent controlled or rent stabilized apartment in New York, you have the right to succeed your husband, if you have lived with him in the apartment for at least two years (one year if you're disabled, or 62 or older), and you also have the right to have a roommate.
