My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: NY
I rented an apartment in a rent controlled unit in August 2010. I signed a lease for one year but I found that the US Postal Service did not have my apartment number listed, I did not have a mail box (now they gave me one) and my apartment does not have a bell at the building entrance like all the other units. My apartment is in the ground floor and it is the only apartment in this floor. It seems to be an old office that was transformed into an apartment, next to the boiler room, laundry room and Super office. I would like to know if I am renting a legal apartment. I was looking in the Dept. of Buildings database, CO and could not find this information.
