My 9 month old has elevated levels of lead and the city was automatically notified. The inspector came and found the bedroom needed to be resurfaced. The same day, the landlord started to suggest we move.
We are currently month to month renters in an unregulated 3 family house (absentee landlord) in Queens. While we have, in the past, nagged our LL to make necessary repairs she didn't want to pay for, we've never called the city and we didn't for this (although she believes we did and has said so).
After the (expensive) repairs were done she sent us a termination notice because she was "selling the house" and supposedly for no other reason. BUT! She hasn't asked the tenants above us to move (the third apartment is currently unoccupied). We're positive this is retaliation for insisting on repairs and the whole lead thing.
We're not overly interested in suing her for being a miserable witch but I AM interested in making her life as miserable as she has made ours. What are my options?
