New York Consolidated Laws, Civil Rights Law - CVR § 92. Protections not applicable to breaches of lease, illicit activities or other violations of law

The protections of this article shall not be deemed to prohibit a municipality from enforcing an ordinance or local law, nor restrict a landlord from terminating, evicting or refusing to renew a tenancy, when such action is premised upon grounds other than access of police or emergency assistance or is otherwise premised on conduct unrelated to the residential occupant's status as a target or victim of violence or harm.
