Well...lets start with "30 notice"

HUH? You are confused. If you are giving them a normal notice to end the tenancy at the end of a lease (or month-to-month), then you just need to write a letter that makes it clear that the notice is to terminate the tenancy. You must make it for 30 days..but is must include full rental period. You do not need to state a reason. That is what New York requires.

BUT..if you are preparing to file to evict...then the notice period is 3 days. That is what New York requires.

So.. there is a difference between them. the first IS NOT what you need if you plan to seek and eviction.

If you are writing a 3 day "quit or pay"... you must state the date..(it needs to be the same day you post it and mail a copy). It must state all the money you are owed....such as: rent for November $$$, late fee of $$$. State that you require it to be paid in full by ---date--- that being at least 3 days from the date of the delivery.

You can go on to state that failure to pay could result in you seeking remedy under the New York state Laws, which can include eviction.

There isn't any specific wording you must use...but there is specific things you must say. Remember, this is just a notice. Treat it exclusively as business...do not get emotional in this notice. Do not get wordy. State what they owe, when they owe it, and the result if they don't pay.
