Welllllll

The laws of NY and NJ can be very different despite their being close. In addition, the law changes depending on the county or town you are in.

But what you have described would constitute a theft of service (or utility) here in New York. You should address it as a criminal issue and call PSEG and your state's utility commission.

Don't be surprised if the LL looks shocked and amazed and feigns no knowledge of the electric theft....

However, before you do any of the above, try to have an electrician verify that you actually are having electricity stolen.
