New York's Cooperative and Condominium Community
I have a rent stabilized tenant who I suspect does not live full time, or even the
majority of the time in her NY apartment. I want to bring suit and have her evicted if I can prove her non primary residency.
Can anyone recommend a good investigator for this type of work?
this is mean. why dont you just be nice?

You are joking right? I am one of the kindest Landlords in NY and have been told so by a judge on one occasion. This woman is doing something illegal under NYS law and as such is STEALING from the Landlord. She is not Rent Controlled, She is not elderly, She is not destitute, She is not handicapped...Now do you think this is mean?

Why evict a tenant because the apt she rents from you may not be her primary residence? Maybe it's a "good thing" if it isn't. How much damage or wear & tear can there be on your apt if she isn't there that often?
Anon - you said "this woman is doing something illegal under NYS law and as such is stealing from the landlord." If she's doing something illegal prove it, and prove how she's stealing from the landlord. But IF she isn't doing anything illegal, causing problems and is minding her own business, you think it isn't mean or unjustified to evict her just because she isn't elderly, destitute or handicapped? Sorry, but maybe I'm missing something here.

If your tenet is not paying NY taxes,,, you can evict! Otherwise you have to prove that this is not their primary res.
As far as being nice,,, This landlord is running a business and its one thing to be the owner, and anoter the renter.
Good luck..VP

People - Please stay on topic - I am not looking for your opinions and thoughts on this matter. I know the law, I know my business. I know what I can and must do.
All I asked for is references for the name and number of a good investigator who does Non Primary Residence Investigation.
I did not ask for a debate on the topic and what I should do with this woman. You apparently do not understand NYC Rent Stabilization law which is fine. I would not expect you to, just as I probably do not understand the intricacies and implications of what you do for a living either...

Did you call Mike Gordon? He's the right guy for what you need. Just ignore the other postings, they are trying to be helpful but really don't know what you are looking for.

Wouldn't the voter registration roll help? A person is supposed to be registered where his domicile is, i.e., his principal residence. Voter registration records are open to public inspection.
