New York housing court eviction cases are complicated and fraught with risks. Evictions are hotly and heavily contested cases. Gordon is not deterred by any hot button housing court issues. New York’s housing courts have enacted, adopted amended complicated and an often-confusing myriad of rent and eviction laws, regulations, procedures along with federal, state and city emergency orders, mandates, and moratoriums, leaving tenants scratching their heads not knowing how to proceed and frequently leading to conflicts between landlord and tenants that can result in costly legal battles.

Gordon understands the federal, state, and local laws and regulations and knows how to apply his knowledge, skills, and experience to best represent tenants defending the most complicated holdover and nonpayment cases.

You need to contact an experienced tenant defense attorney as soon as you are served with a holdover termination notice. Too often decent and honest people get infected with an insidious disease of wishful thinking and hope that a problem will resolve itself on its own, when in fact landlord and tenant housing court eviction disputes rarely work themselves out so simply.
