The only thing you can do at this point is file a Motion to Stay Execution of Writ of Possession. This motion will put the execution of the eviction order on hold for up to 10 days.
It is very rare that a judge will overturn their initial decision, but it can happen if you can point to something compelling they missed the first time around. If your argument is that the judge was simply wrong, you are almost never going to win.
You can get an answer form from the court clerk's office. The answer form lists reasons that may help you stop the eviction. Once your answer is filed, the court will send you notice of the date, time and place of your trial. Some courts give you this notice when you file your answer.
Good Cause Eviction is a New York State law that went into effect on April 20, 2024. It gives some tenants of unregulated (also known as “market rate”) homes in New York City new protections.
Judgment for possession is entered, your landlord must file a writ of restitution to evict you. Your landlord must wait two days after the judgment is entered to file the writ. The writ becomes “live” or active three days after it is filed. Writs last for 75 days, so you can be evicted within that period.
The tenant should file a written answer stating why the landlord does not have the right to remove them from the property. If the tenant cannot write, the answer can be made orally, written down by the clerk and signed by the tenant.
A writ of possession is issued to evict an occupant from the property. The dispossessory complaint is filed under oath by the owner (landlord), testifying to the unlawful possession of the owners property by a tenant. The relationship between the parties must be Landlord and Tenant.
