Why does it take a year to evict a tenant that didn't pay rent?
Is there any way a landlord can get help if they are falsly accused of Housing Department Violations?

If you were "falsely accused" in NYC of housing violations, the inspector wouldn't have issued a violations list which allowed your tenant to remain for so long while the violations were abated and reinspected.
Inspections are arranged quickly in NYC. If there weren't any violations, you would have been back in court within a matter of weeks and the judge would have ordered the tenant to pay immediately.
NYC housing law is extremely complicated. If you don't follow the procedure and housing code exactly, you pay dearly for it.

It will depend on your location and any special rent control laws. In some places you can evict a tenant within days of not paying rent.

Why does it take a year? Because the laws are set up to favor the renter. This is because more voters are renters then landlords, so the politicians try to buy votes from renters.

Have you contacted and attorney. Did you serve them with eviction papers that they replied to? because in my case it only took 6 weeks to get mine out but they didnt reply to the court papers.
