You have to get the official eviction and then give them 30 days secure storage. It does not have to be free storage and it doesn't need to be in the same place that it is stored currently. If you need or want to you can move the material to a storage unit, and in theory you can charge them what it cost you, (Good luck with that), you then can dispose of the material. What you can't do legally is to retain the material for your own use or sell it privately to compensate you for your own expenses. If it does get sold it has to be sold at a public auction and then the funds have to be treated as additional security deposit.
Source Nolo Guide for Ny Landlords. Personal experience is to store it on my own property for free with thorough video and photo documentation of condition collection and disposal.
Actually had Tenants show up more than a year later for their Christmas decorations
