Hi,I know what I'm asking is not legal, but it also doesn't stop the 30,000+ not legal apartments that currently provide a home for families in Queens, NYC that would otherwise not be able to afford to live there.I'm just trying to see, as a landlord, are there certain steps I can take to reduce any potential risks I could face for renting out the apartment?
