Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

I live in manhatten in am apartment building. My landlord is renting out over 7 apartments to people as hotel rooms. On a constant basis there are people coming and going. ive had packages stolen and someone tried breaking into my apartment as well. Its like living in a hostel here. And when I confronted him about it he told me to mind my own business and if i don't play nice with him he wont play nice with me. And if I want to renew my lease I better start being nice. I know what he doing is illegal but i don't know what my rights are in this situation.

This is grounds for war. Your rights include potentially taking control of the building. You should engage counsel now.
