YOU. ARE. GETTING. SCAMMED. Full stop.
I don't even know how you could sue to recover anything but I'm sure a lawyer or someone else will post with better knowledge about this.
Google his name, does anything shady come up, like I'm guessing it will? Also google your address.
Go into ACRIS, the NYC property database, see who owns the building, if that's even his real name. You need to do alot of research here.

Sorry but your partner is also a dumbass.
THIS IS NEW YORK, you ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS get everything in writing.

New York City always looks so cute in the movies like Midnight Cowboy, huh?
