§ 232-a. Notice to terminate monthly tenancy or tenancy from month to
month in the city of New York. No monthly tenant, or tenant from month
to month, shall hereafter be removed from any lands or buildings in the
city of New York on the grounds of holding over the tenant's term unless
pursuant to the notice period required by subdivision two of section two
hundred twenty-six-c of this article, or for a tenancy other than a
residential tenancy at least thirty days before the expiration of the
term, the landlord or the landlord's agent serve upon the tenant, in the
same manner in which a notice of petition in summary proceedings is now
allowed to be served by law, a notice in writing to the effect that the
landlord elects to terminate the tenancy and that unless the tenant
removes from such premises on the day designated in the notice, the
landlord will commence summary proceedings under the statute to remove
such tenant therefrom.
