My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Westchester (County) / New York (State)
Alright so, my family and I are tenants in a private house with a landlord. Today I noticed a very toxic smell in my room and I thought it was my air conditioner burning up or something and I went to have a quick smell to check out what's going on. There was nothing wrong with my air conditioner and my cousins came to my house and we were about to head off to play basketball. As I was heading out the front door my mother came in and I told her I had a pretty sharp headache and she instantly noticed the smell as she came into the house. I went to put on my shoes near the basement and the smell became even stronger.
At this point I'd realized there was definitely a gas leak of some sorts and I strongly urged my parents to call the fire department in regard to a possible gas leak. I played basketball and came back to starbucks and relaxed for a bit and drank a coffee. I spoke to my parents/aunt at starbucks and found out the fire department/con-edison/police department had arrived and inspected the property and came to the result that there was a carbon monoxide leak in the house. In the basement the chimney was destroyed, and the pipes connected to the boiler were deteoriated and destroyed.
I was very upset with this because this is negligence on the landlords part as it's his job to do maintenence/inspections on the property as he is the owner, and we are the tenants of his property. I went to the ER and after 2 hours of oxygen and blood testing, I had exposure to carbon monoxide (low amounts) and no carbon monoxide poisoning. I did have a temperature and a high heartrate and also light-headedness as well as a headache to re-address. I'm hoping to pursue this against my landlord as this is negligence and I was wondering what advice or anything you guys would like to add on as this put my family at risk.
My father has a long list of health problems in the past from near-heart attack incidents to surgery, and he's a long time smoker so this could've had a traumatic effect on him if I didn't do something about it or notify my parents. Also, the inspectors/police department/fire department have reports in-which I'm going to seek tomorrow.
My father has also taken photographs and videos of the basement boiler piping and chimney conditions, if this is important. We've also been cut off from the boiler and no longer have warm water anymore until this issue is fixed by the landlord.
What should I do next, and can I pursue this legally? I'm in dire need of assistance as I'm hoping to get those reports/contact an attorney tomorrow.
Thanks to all who reply!
