I live in New York state renting from a large corporation. The most recent issue I have experienced is excess noise being emitted from the baseboard heating unit in my bedroom that constantly wakes me up. I have addressed this with my landlord providing them video and audio clips of the issue to which they have responded with they will not be addressing this issue. All it would take is pulling back carpet and a couple floor boards to place some plastic fittings to prevent the noises from generating. As they're refusing to do anything about this and it is affecting my sleep causing insomnia, and affecting my anxiety, I would like to know if I have recourse in hiring a contractor to fix it myself and deduct this from rent as they're neglecting this issue?
