NY Holdover Tenants Won't leave. I'm an owner occupying landlord.
Bought my house in upstate New York this year. The tenants in the other unit were served an eviction notice just days before Covid hitting. The marshals were supposed to arrive but their office closed right after the ban. The tenants still have not left despite being asked to vacate. There is domestic violence happening in their apartment on a regular basis, which resulted in the police being called twice in the middle of the night. There has been property damage to the home as well due to their actions. They refuse to wear masks in the common areas despite being asked. These are the tenants from hell and I'm wondering if there is anything else I can do to get them out, especially since I live in the same house.

Owner Occupied you say? Won't play by the rules of common decency you say? I say late night parties, Check. Early AM on sight improvement projects, with very loud power tools, check. Home Inspections twice a week (you know, one a insect inspection, one for water intrusion in the attic, one for water damage to the cabinets, one for measurement to fix one door, one for a second option on the first repair's quote, one for remeasuring the door, and all the same for the other door...again, one for an upgrade estimate on the... um bathroom yeah that's it, one for a roof inspection that needs access to the attic, one for... well you get the point. Oh, and don't forget all the common areas are now under construction and cannot be used until... well the contractor keeps extending the date... you know them contractors. oops did i park my car taking up the entire driveway again? So sorry... And never forget put up a advert for lease and show the property every chance you get.. move in date, sorry unknown. Be a Betelgeuse...
