If you want to start an HP action against the property owner, go to the Clerk's Office at the Housing Court. You do not need a lawyer to start an HP case. For more information about HP actions, visit the website of the New York State Unified Court System.
A tenant's counterclaim is filed in a case initiated by the landlord – usually in the Associate Division. If the tenant is not represented by an attorney, filing a counterclaim requires submitting a paper copy of the counterclaim to the court clerk.
If an attorney is representing the tenant, the attorney must electronically file the counterclaim. A counterclaim must include the same case name and case number as the landlord's case. At the bottom the counterclaim should state how and when the counterclaim is being “served” on the landlord.
To counter sue the landlord you must have a valid reason and show proof that the DAMAGES you are suing for are valid. For example, you will need to file a counter suit in the same court as the landlord filed for eviction. Your counter suit is for DAMAGES incurred to you by the landlord's eviction suit.
