That seems like a situation where if the legal system doesn't help you, you take matters into your own hands. These people have to leave the apartment to get food or whatever. Hire some "help" if need be.

Daughter was too kind hearted and woefully ignorant of NYC/NYS laws regarding housing including squatters.
Her first mistake was allowing that grifting home help aid to move into her mother's apartment. Second strike came when she did nothing when said home help aid moved her family in as well.
All sorts of bad stuff happens when people hire these home help or other domestics off the books or otherwise not under supervision of an agency.
The aid and or her family are from Columbia, maybe one or all are here illegally which isn't unusual. All over UES and elsewhere in NYC families hire illegals or "immigrants" for various domestic work from child or elder minding to cleaning and so on. They come cheap because of their immigration status, that is all some people see when hiring.
Long story short this woman hired that home help aide without any sort of written contract but apparently only oral agreements. The latter aren't worth paper they're printed upon.
Far as NYC and NYS laws go that home help aide (and her family) have established residence at said apartment and getting them out is proving difficult.
Oh yes, also as per usual the grifting home help aide and family have cleaned out the apartment, selling or otherwise disposing of contents apparently.
As soon as they let that home health aide live in the apartment and get mail sent to her at that address, it was a wrap. The health aide knew exactly what she was doing and NY laws setup by politicians yall elected helped her.

Some states have laws that bend over backyards to allow squatters to settle in place.
There was a Chicago alderwoman who's mother died and she rented out her subsidized unit. When they told her she couldn't do it, she said " It was my mother's unit and now it's mine". She didn't get re-elected and she lost the unit.
There have been a few cases like this. The West Village grifter was one that got media coverage. Took years for the owner to get the squatter out. In NYC it practically takes an act of God to get rid of someone once they are there 30 days. They will keep getting extensions and thats once the case is heard in the first place. That can take time in itself.
Many horror stories of "I let my friend crash while they looked for a place" also.
