*711The petitioner argues that the one-year statute of limitations under CPLR 215 (4) was intended to be utilized in forfeiture proceedings involving property obtained from the proceeds of a crime. Since the tenant’s occupancy in the premises does not arise as the result of the proceeds from a crime, she may not rely on the one-year statute of limitations. This argument bears little weight. First, the petitioner provides no statute or precedent to support this contention. Moreover, because this case clearly involves a forfeiture, there is no reason why CPLR 215 was solely intended to cover forfeiture proceedings brought under CPLR article 13.
