Frequently Asked Questions
How does the eviction process work for Brooklyn landlords?
To evict a tenant in Brooklyn, a landlord must first serve a legally proper notice — a rent demand for nonpayment cases or a notice to quit for holdover cases. If the tenant does not cure or vacate, the landlord files a petition in NYC Housing Court at 141 Livingston Street in Brooklyn. The court schedules a hearing, and if the landlord prevails, the court issues a judgment of possession. The landlord then obtains a warrant of eviction from the court and has it executed by a city marshal. The entire process typically takes 2–6 months in Brooklyn.
What defenses are available to Brooklyn homeowners facing foreclosure?
New York’s judicial foreclosure process gives homeowners meaningful opportunities to challenge a foreclosure. Common defenses include challenging whether the lender has standing (the right to sue), identifying procedural errors in notice, disputing the loan balance calculation, and asserting claims under the Truth in Lending Act. New York also provides a mandatory settlement conference in most residential foreclosure cases, giving homeowners an opportunity to negotiate loan modifications before a judgment is entered by the Kings County Supreme Court.
What is a non-payment eviction proceeding in New York and how long does it take?
A nonpayment proceeding is an expedited court case filed when a tenant has not paid rent. In Brooklyn, these are heard at NYC Housing Court at 141 Livingston Street. The landlord serves a rent demand (at least 14 days before filing), then files a petition in court. Cases are typically first heard within 3–4 weeks of filing. If the tenant pays all arrears and fees, the case is dismissed. If not, the court enters a judgment of possession and the landlord proceeds to eviction. Total timeline from demand to eviction typically runs 2–4 months.
