eviction for drug addict tenant/neighbor in NY by gary on June 9, 2022 @23:32

                              
So I have a tenant who moved in last month (same floor, opposite my unit). Just a few weeks ago I discovered he happens to be an active meth addict based on a few signs
  • His mother used to live with him but moved out after a few late-night quarrels. His mother did come to us and told us about his condition and he takes meth regularly.
  • his abnormal behavior (jerky movements, hyperactivity)
  • late night activities (going in and out of the building a few times, slamming door very loud, jumping around and making noise)

We tried to mind our own business, but he really affected us and other neighbors, and he refused to talk to us. We called the police twice within a month due to his late-night (2-4am) activities, but whenever the police came, he would defend himself by saying that he was suffering from drug addiction and toxicity, and needed medical assistance, and the police would just send him to an ambulance (and he would smile at us). And a few days after, he would come back to the apartment and repeat doing the same thing again. There are already 3 neighbors complaining about this, and it seems like he is going to use the same tricks (saying he is toxic) whenever we call the police, and we just can't do this forever.

We really wish to evict this person from our apartment ASAP (not being discrimination or anything), but we don't know which would be the best way and the procedures (eg: how to proceed, how to obtain evidence).

Any suggestion or advice you could give would be greatly appreciated.
