Responding to my own response: It looks like there's one provision in the Pet Law that might be of use with someone who has a jillion cats:
http://www.dhcr.state.ny.us/Rent/OpinionLetters/COL-1552.htm
"The waiver provision of this section shall not apply where the harboring of a household pet causes damage to the subject premise, creates a nuisance or interferes substantially with the health, safety or welfare of other tenants or occupants of the same or adjacent building or structure."
Again, this has nothing to do with House Rules. If there's a substantial health or nuisance issue, other protections kick in.

You are on the right track CDT. You can file a complaint with 311 for unsanitary conditions such as smells, improper disposal of waste etc. They actually send an inspector around to investigate We've had success with this approach as it also gives you a paper trail. Good luck.
