The New York Police Department Patrol Guide, Procedure No. 117-11, Unlawful Evictions, is intended for the NYPD to help to restore people who have been illegally evicted. It is not authority for the NYPD to evict people.

The woman who started this long thread created her own problems. Roommate situations can always have difficulties. She should have moved into the new apartment and got the feel of things. If things seemed to going fine (not that they can't change in the future), she could have tried to legally sublet her old apartment. Maybe she would have lost her share of a month's rent at her old place, but look at the situation that she, her caught-in-the-middle roommate, and her illegal subtenant are in now.

: Unless a Warrant of Eviction or Government
Order to Vacate has been executed, the protective
provisions of this law apply in the following
circumstances:

: a. When an individual occupies a dwelling
unit pursuant to a lease; OR

: b. When an individual has lawfully occupied
a dwelling unit for thirty (30) or more
consecutive days; OR

: c. When an individual occupies a dwelling
unit in a hotel which is subject to registration
under the rent stabilization
: law (generally single-room occupancies
[S.R.O.'s]) and has requested a lease pursuant to
provisions of the rent
: stabilization law.
