The only legal way a building owner may evict a nonpaying tenant who refuses to move voluntarily is through a nonpayment eviction proceeding in Housing Court. Owners must obtain a judgment of possession and "warrant" directing the sheriff or marshal to evict the tenant.Many leases contain "nuisance" provisions that, under certain circumstances, allow building owners to undertake eviction proceedings for objectionable conduct. A "nuisance" is generally considered conduct that threatens the health, safety or comfort of neighboring tenants. Visit HPD online for more information.
