You need a lawyer. I had a tenant that I evicted for non-payment of rent in Rockland county and it was a long complicated process. I believe in NYC - the laws are even more favorable towards tenants.

The rules to get things moving in court look pretty straight forward online. We verbally informed the tenant and then served papers. Any reason why a lawyer would need to be involved at this point?

I have no experience with this, but from what I understand, NYC tenant courts are extremely biased toward the tenant. So if your tenant is planning to play games and make life difficult for you, a lawyer could inform you of what you need to do to expedite the process as much as possible, what to expect realistically, potential pitfalls to avoid, etc. If your tenant will be straight and honest, this may not be necessary, but there are many horror stories of the court system protecting delinquent tenants at the homeowner's expense.

Is the tenant receiving public assistance and have young children? If so, both you and the tenant can get financial assistance correct the situation (ie you can get back pay and the tenant can get monthly assistance with the rent).
