Got a warrant of eviction in NYC? It is not over — here is what you can still do
Did you receive a warrant of eviction in New York City? Most tenants think it is completely over. It is not.
Here is what most tenants do not know:
After a warrant of eviction is issued, the city marshal must serve you a separate 14-day notice before executing it. That 14-day window is your legal lifeline.
Within that window, an attorney can file an emergency Order to Show Cause to stop the marshal. If there are legal grounds — improper service, new payment, changed circumstances — a judge can grant a stay that keeps you in your home while the case is reviewed again.
At Outerbridge Law P.C., Attorney Altagracia Pierre-Outerbridge has stopped marshal evictions within that 14-day window for NYC tenants who thought everything was already lost.
