A tenant shall not be removed from possession of a residential  unit   pursuant  to  this  article  because  of such person's domestic violence   victim status, as defined in section two hundred twenty-seven-d  of  the   real  property  law.  It  shall  be a defense to a proceeding to recover   possession of a residential unit that a  landlord  seeks  such  recovery   because of a person's domestic violence victim status, and that, but for   such  status,  the  landlord  would  not  seek  to recover possession. A   landlord may rebut such defense by showing  that  he  or  she  seeks  to   recover  possession  of  a  residential unit because of any other lawful   ground.2. Nothing in this section shall restrict a landlord's legal rights to   recover possession of a residential unit on  grounds  not  based  on  or   derived from domestic violence victim status.3.  A  landlord  shall not be civilly liable to other tenants, guests,   invitees, or licensees arising from reasonable and good faith efforts to   comply with this section.4.

If  a  redemption  is   not made by the lessee, his executor, administrator or assignee within a   year  after the execution of the warrant, the person so filing a notice,   or, if two or more persons have filed such notices the one who holds the   first lien, at any time before two o'clock of the day, not a Sunday or a   public holiday, next succeeding the last day of the year, may redeem for   his  own  benefit  in  like  manner  as  the   lessee,   his   executor,   administrator  or  assignee  might  have  so redeemed. Where two or more   judgment creditors or mortgagees have filed such notices, the holder  of   the second lien may so redeem at any time before two o'clock of the day,   not  a  Sunday  or  a  public holiday, next succeeding that in which the   holder of the first lien might have redeemed;  and  the  holder  of  the   third  and  each  subsequent  lien may redeem in like manner at any time   before two o'clock of the day, not a Sunday or a  public  holiday,  next   succeeding  that  in  which  his  predecessor might have redeemed. But a   second or subsequent redemption is not valid unless the person redeeming   pays or tenders to each of his predecessors who  has  redeemed  the  sum   paid  by  him  to  redeem  and  also  the  sum  due upon his judgment or   mortgage; or deposits those sums with the court for the benefit  of  his   predecessor or predecessors.
