§ 241.02 Harassment of a rent regulated tenant in the second degree.
An  owner  is  guilty  of harassment of a rent regulated tenant in the
  second degree when, with intent to induce a  rent  regulated  tenant  to
  vacate  a  housing  accommodation, such owner intentionally engages in a
  course of conduct that:
1. impairs the habitability of a housing accommodation; or
2. creates or maintains a condition  which  endangers  the  safety  or
  health of the dwelling's tenant; or
3.  is  reasonably  likely  to  interfere  with  or  disturb, and does
  interfere with or disturb, the comfort, repose, peace or quiet  of  such
  rent  regulated  tenant  in his or her use and occupancy of such housing
  accommodation  including,  but  not  limited  to,  the  interruption  or
  discontinuance  of  essential  services. The good faith commencement and
  pursuit of a lawful eviction action by an owner against a rent regulated
  tenant in a court  of  competent  jurisdiction  shall  not,  by  itself,
  constitute a "course of conduct" in violation of this subdivision.
Harassment  of a rent regulated tenant in the second degree is a class
  A misdemeanor.
