Served an eviction notice, code was called.

[Patrick Toma]

So I served eviction notice and code was called (she told me her cousin was an officer and was being vengeful) the issues were addressed and the tenant was up to date on rent. If I tried evicting her I was told it would look like a retaliation eviction even though I wanted her gone before code was called because she is not consistent in paying. So now that everything was addressed and we brought everything up to code she is again 2.5 months behind again. How long do I have to wait in the state of NY to serve eviction notice for not paying rent again? First time posting and first time being a landlord. I really hope these first few months are not what this is always going to be like. Majorly stressed, thanks for any and all advice.
