State Judge Extends Eviction Moratorium Until October, Citing ‘Sudden High-Volume Influx of Eviction

All New York evictions are suspended until October 1, a state judge decreed last week, modifying Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s earlier mandate allowing the courts to halt evictions through September 4 if they chose to. 

In extending the moratorium, Chief Administrative Court Judge Lawrence Marks cited the judiciary’s concern about a “sudden high-volume influx of eviction matters,” the New York Law Journal reported.
