landlord tenant problems

New York City

Can a tenant living in an illegal basement sue the landlord for rent that was previously paid (in New York)? From my understanding (in New York) they cannot sue/get back rent that was previously paid to the landlord, but they are not required to pay rent if they live in an illegal basement. Is this correct?
