Buffalo eviction research
City-level context for eviction filings in Buffalo, New York. Cited figures are labeled. Missing figures are omitted.
Court and process (high level)
An eviction in Buffalo is a court case, not a lockout. The owner files; the tenant has a chance to answer; a hearing may be set; a judgment, if entered, is not possession. A writ executed by the local sheriff, marshal, or constable is typically required before a setout. We do not guarantee any of those intervals.
New York eviction petitions are heard in housing court in New York City and in the applicable city, district, or county court elsewhere in the state.
