The LL of my rent-stabilized apartment - for which I have never been on the lease - will likely be formally evicting me as their attorneys have served papers asking me to quit and surrender the apartment. The apartment is a duplex that was informally split into two living units. The cellar living unit where my now deceased roommate lived is in very bad condition - broken piping in the bathroom, mold on the walls, ceiling falling apart, water damage, etc. The paramedics who hospitalized my roommate were concerned that this section of the apartment was uninhabitable. The LL is aware of most of these issues.
What would happen if I called 311 and had them look at this section of the apartment? Would this have any impact on the eviction proceedings? As in, could they deem the whole apartment unlivable and force me to leave sooner? Or could the renovation process potentially extend me stay? Or could the threat of calling 311 help me in negotiating with the LL?
