New York landlord entry notice

no statewide rule entry notice.

New York has no single statewide entry-notice statute; 'reasonable' notice is generally expected and many leases (and NYC rules) require advance notice for non-emergency entry.

What this means for you: Your lease and local rules govern. In practice, courts expect reasonable advance notice; emergencies allow immediate entry.

Your next step: Check your lease's access terms and any local rules. Object in writing to repeated no-notice entries.
