I suggest you see if the company or agent is licensed:

If so it is best to get a lawyer sending a letter. The license will do virtually nothing....

      The scary word in your question is "sublet".  I don't know New York law, but in Florida that can be a precarious legal position to be in.

     I hope your daughter gets her deposit back, I hope some New Yorkers answer the question for you.

I think some municipalities have their own regulators in addition to statewide regulators in NY.
