I've lived in a 2-family house in Queens for about a year. And I just found out from the city housing department, that the house is registered for 2 families only. However, the landlord rented the basement to a 3rd family. Will he be punished for anything if this illegal rental is reported to the city department?
Since I share the same electricity meter with basement people, the landlord asks us to break the bill. Now that the basement rental is illegal, does that mean I don't have to pay for the bill?
Thanks!
