On September 28, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced the State's Tenant Safe Harbor Act will be expanded until January 1, 2021 to protect additional residential tenants from eviction if they are suffering financial hardship during the COVID-19 public health emergency. The Executive Order extends the protections of the Tenant Safe Harbor Act to eviction warrants that existed prior to the start of the pandemic.
The next day, Executive Order 202.66 was issued which states: "Chapter 127 of the laws of 2020 is modified to the extent necessary to prevent, for any residential tenant suffering financial hardship during the COVID-19 state disaster emergency declared by Executive Order 202, the execution or enforcement of such judgment or warrant, including those cases where a judgment or warrant of eviction for a residential property was granted prior to March 7, 2020, through January 1, 2021."
I emphasized some language to highlight that this covers pre-Covid eviction judgment or warrants. Moratoriums on commercial matters as well as foreclosures are extended to October 23 per Executive Order 202.65 issued a few days prior thereto.
