RPAPL 711 (5) (the Bawdy House Law) provides a procedural remedy for implementing Real Property Law § 231 via a summary proceeding, and substantively expands the grounds for bringing a proceeding. RPAPL 711 (5) authorizes a landlord to commence a summary eviction proceeding if "[t]he premises, or any part thereof, are used or occupied as a bawdy-house, or house or place of assignation for lewd persons, or for purposes of prostitution, or for any illegal trade or manufacture or other illegal business.” RPAPL 715 (1) defines a class of additional persons who have standing to assert the claim and grants them legal capacity to commence such a proceeding, if after notice, the owner fails to proceed under RPAPL 711 (5). These potential petitioners include a tenant of any premises within 200 feet, or an enforcement agency of the State or of a State subdivision.
