yes but this apartment is illegal, thats why I want them out. and I was told that only a judge can evict them date wise which can take time, plus all these back taxes and my father collecting money for the rent from FEMA.
I'm wondering if I should just pay them to move and hope they don't report me to FEMA and the IRS

See an attorney.
Again: SEE AN ATTORNEY!
Don't make anxiety-driven decisions based on "I was told," or on "hoping" that a payoff will work and won't complicate things.
Your problem involves several connected issues, and (since the law can be strange) one well-intended goof can blow you out of the water.
This isn't a do-it-yourself job. If an attorney faced these same issues, and wasn't a property expert, he-she wouldn't "wing it": That attorney would _see an attorney_.
housing court in new york is extremely landlord un-friendly... i wouldnt do a thing without an attorney who specializes in tenant law... i have loads of horror stories for you as a landlord in nyc for over 20 years ...
the way common sense tells you things should playout and the way housing court plays them out for you are totaly different most of the times
thanks all. I actually saw an landlord-real estate attorney today and he said usually the process will take around 6 months to year before I can get the tenants out because only a judge can tell them to move. plus the fee is $500 to represent me and $1,250 if it goes to court. does this sound right?

I was wondering if it made sense for me the send the DOB to check out the illegal apartment to get the tenants out earlier. does that make sense? will I get a lot of fines? thank you all for your input, I'm definately a lot smarter than I was yesterday

That's what your lawyer is for: Ask him.
And don't do anything w/o checking with him first, or you'll defeat the purpose of having a lawyer (and might prolong this thing even further).
Don't worry, just give them 30 days and be as nice as possible. If they ask why you want them out, tell them you have to use it for storage. Once their gone look into legalizing it.
